DA20 Adapter HDMI+USB 3.0 simultaneous use

Question

I wonder if I can use DA20 adapter connecting FullHD monitor and USB 3.0 devise simultaneously. There was a thread 'New Dell XPS 15 9500 How to output 4K @ 60Hz HDR?' where @jphughan discussed this adapter but still there was no info about simultaneous use of both ports. Would appreciate any help and I'm sorry for bad English.

@markgordy  The ports can be used simultaneously, and any system with a USB-C port that supports video output and USB 3.x would be able to run a single Full HD display and USB 3.x data simultaneously.

@jphughan Thank you! In previous thread you mentioned that using USB Hub will halve the Display Refresh Speed. Were you talking about DA20 in-box adapter? If so, does it relate to FullHD?

@markgordy  No, that only applies to running a 4K display from a system that only supports DisplayPort 1.2/HBR2 over USB-C. With Full HD you can run normal 60 Hz, in fact you should be able to run Full HD 120 Hz even from a DP 1.2 system if your display actually supports 120 Hz.
