Yes, there is a USB-C "port extender" (dock) attached to this Lenovo laptop. The model is the MUC-0501B. It is this exact device : https://amzn.to/3XA5u5N -- "USB C Adapters for MacBook Pro/Air,Mac Dongle with 3 USB Port,USB C to HDMI, USB C to RJ45 Ethernet,MOKiN 9 in 1 USB C to HDMI Adapter,100W Pd Charging, USB C to SD/TF Card Reader USB C Hub".

I also have noticed occassional flickering. What's interesting is that either the display controlled via this, or via the direct HDMI port will "drop out" for a second or 2 when the mouse moves between the screens. If I move the mouse back to the alternate screen, the display comes back.
