You don't need a chime in order to try that.

Its useful to know if it'll work before digging into the box o' cables for usb-c to display port
The convenience of that rare scenario is outweighed by the annoyance of hearing the chime thousands of times, imho.
Not if you know how to take apart computers.
and own a blowdryer.
