Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 HDMI to USB-C Initially, screen flickered uncontrollably on default resolution 3840 x 2160 (4K) at presumably 60Hz. Switching to 1080p 59Hz stabilized.
Switched to 2560 x 1440. This enabled the Customize button. I created a customized profile at 4K but with 59Hz. This works. Still no audio however unable with the GTX 1050. Thanks to this reddit post I was able to get 5K working, had to change to lower resolution temporarily then "Use NVIDIA color settings" change to limited, then 5K worked https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/w0us95/5k_apple_studio_display_w_1070_ti/?utm_source=BD

Tried new cable, CLUB3D bidirectional displayport to USB-C, works perfectly--no graphical defects, max resolution right out of the box. unfortunately no audio though... investigating drivers
With the new cable, if the monitor doesn't come on when it's plugged in follow these steps: - unplug power cable to the display - unplug the displayport - plug the monitor in, wait for the 3 dots to display on the screen, then wait for it to go black - now plug in the displayport having the displayport plugged before the monitor was turned off/on made it so that it was not recognized
After getting the display to work with my PC by the displayport, I've noticed if I leave it plugged in, the next morning when I connect my work laptop USB-C to the display, it will randomly (within 5 mins) disconnect, only supplying power. The first day this happened I was frustrated and just left the display plugged in for power. The next day it suddenly started working as normal. Not sure the steps I followed.
I suspect USB selective suspend setting is at fault here. I'm hoping plugging in my mouse and keyboard into the display itself just after connecting it will tell Windows that this USB is active and to not suspend... if I had Admin rights I'd be able to disable USB selective suspend
The solution is to have something plugged into the display by USB other than the main cable. Laptop for some reason thinks it’s saving power by killing the data on the thunderbolt cable I guess.
Happened again despite the last solution. Moved monitor again and the desk and it occurred this morning. Making sure the USB dongle was plugged in did not help, nor did changing ports. The Thunderbolt cable is identical on each end but I reversed it and it seems to be not causing the issue so far (it's been 15 mins without a disconnect when it usually occurs after 20-60 seconds). I have no idea why reversing the cable would cause this but it would explain the times when this happens (the day after using another computer/cable, 50/50 chance of plugging the cable back in the "wrong" way). I should mark the cable so I know which end is supposed to be plugged in to the laptop and which end goes to the display.
Latest method: 1. Power On PC, while it's booting up... 2. Disconnect USB/DisplayPort cable 3. Power Off monitor, wait 10 seconds 4. Power On monitor, wait for boot up screen to go black 5. Connect USB/DisplayPort Cable Should come on without needed to unplug the DP cable from the graphics card When plugging in the USB-C to USB-C cable to work laptop and experience the disconnect problems above, reverse the cable (the experience described above seems to only happen with one end of the cable... go figure... probably should mark the 'correct' end the next time it happens)
