I'm kind of a big fan of the pass-through DP support in USB-C and Thunderbolt for laptops, especially combined with a dock or monitor that supports power delivery. Just plug in one cable and boom, video output, keyboard, mouse, webcam, Ethernet, whatever other USB stuff and it charges the laptop.How ironic, as I was looking for way to free up the DP port on my G95NC which was taken by my 5 year old Dell docking station (as it only has HDMI 2.0) I decided to give a try to that never used outgoing USB-C port on the back. Turns out it was some kind of pass through that worked even with my brand my Zbook so now I have 8K@120 hz 4:4:4 from my laptop via that same old docking station and the DP port free to use for my gaming PC

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I just recently replaced one of my old 4k 60hz samsung VA side screens with a more modern FALD mini LED LCD that has hdmi 2.1 and 120hz - 144hz, HDR and DV. Over my existing high bandwidth hdmi 2.1 cable with a dp to hdmi 2.1 adapter on my gpu, windows/nvidia panel would only default to a generic monitor at 1024x768 at 60hz and no features, no hdr etc. The single hdmi output on my 5000 series gpu is already taken by my OLED gaming tv.
I had to update my dp-to-hdmi2.1 adapter to a newer dp to hdmi 2.1 active cable which has a newer (or at least a different) chip in it.
Just mentioning it since you are talking about handshaking and recognition issues.
This cable seemed to do the trick:

Apparently it uses the Synaptics VMM7100 chip.

Yeah that seems to be the chip that works the best. Some vendors offer some customized firmware to make it more compatible with Macs somehow. For example CableMatters adapter has such a firmware you can install but that might make it work less well on Windows.

I am hoping for an update for those PC desktop users, as to what's their current GPU and how many GB of Video RAM on their video card, while they are using this 57" monitor.
If you don't do gaming on it, you can run it off probably most reasonably modern GPUs just fine.

I only do a small amt. of gaming: I never play first person shooter, I only do 3rd person shooting, and so far, it's 2D only, such as R-Type Dimension EX Final. The lowest Video RAM that I can see is 8GB for the RTX 5060, and the highest for RTX 5060 is 16GB. So I most likely would choose btwn. 8 to 16GB.
Yeah, as mentioned above, my new Zbook laptop apparently could run it at native resolution at 120 hz even. This has me tempted of trying out if it could even drive my 8K TV that used to be my monitor until the previous laptop said no can do to drive that even in 60 hz so I had to downsize to the 57"
