No idea how many watts this USB-C port will supply?

I have an ASUS TUF A15 laptop (FA507 model - R7 7435HS & RTX 4060) and I plan on buying an Asus Zenscreen OLED to use with it.

This portable monitor is rated for 15w power draw and usually gets it's power via USB-C. I'd prefer this comes from the same USB-C that's providing it with display data from the laptop, so that I'm only having to deal with the one cable.

Now, there's a USB-C 3.2 Gen2 combo port on my laptop which supports Displayport and apparently also supports power delivery, although that's for charging the laptop - I doubt it applies for output from the laptop. I've attached a picture of how ASUS describe this port in the user manual.

I don't know how to find out what this port can supply. Can it do a display signal and at least 15w all over one cable? How would I find out?

Watt=Volt*Ampere -> 20V*5A = 100Watt
Yes, but that seems to indicate what you will need to power the laptop, not how much power that USB power can supply. Minimum spec of USB 3.2 Gen 2 is 7.5 watts (5V @ 1.5A).
Or it could be that 100watt rating.

The all knowledgeable internet seems to think USB-PD ports can generally deliver power in either direction depending on what's needed, and that the devices in question figure it out amongst themselves.
