A version with DisplayPort is also available for even less at $20

That's kind of a hard one. If it were a desktop you could use this card and it combines DP and a controller into one USB-C, and powers it off the PCI-E 1x port. I can't figure out a way to do it on a laptop yet, though I'm very surprised a Clevo doesn't have at least one port with DP Alt Mode.

If you're down to experiment you could try something like this that is made to pass DP Alt Mode the other way, and find out if it's reversible. I don't have high confidence you'll get a video signal but it shouldn't break anything and I'm really curious. But you'd also have to get a MiniDP to fullsize DP cable.

Edit: Now that I'm not on mobile I found a cheaper one on Amazon with this Q&A:

Can i use it from display port output to usb c small 12" monitor input and power the monitor? Answer:RESPONSE FROM MANUFACTURER-CABLE MATTERS: Sorry, the USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter will not work to connect a monitor with USB-C input.

So it probably won't work, damn. Honestly with the whole reversibility of USB-C and DP cables I figured it was worth a shot.
