Question AMD Motherboard search

[seeking advice]

Motherboard needs:
Good brand
Supports 5700g
HDMI 2.0
DP 1.4
WiFi 6 + BT 5

Would like to have:
Debug LED code
Built in i/o shield


I'm looking for a motherboard that has both HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 so I can set up multi display, with built in wifi. Is there such a thing? Debug LED codes are a bonus. Aiming for a budget sub-250USD

I don't game, so graphics output are of my APU, a Ryzen 5700g. I prefer my refresh rates to be at least 100Hz.
Overclocking: RAM XMP is the only thing I will be enabling.

So far I've only found 2 motherboards that support all of the above:
ASRock B550 Taichi
EVGA x570 FTW WIFI (quite expensive)

There's a MSI board I found, though it doesn't have Debug codes. In the event of a problem, how do I go about troubleshooting?
The board has an unmarked displayport. Does anyone know if it is 1.2 or 1.4?
MSI MPG B550 Gaming Edge WiFi


Thank you

It has EZ Debug LED's to assist in troubleshooting.

The question about the Displayport Version is a bit confusing. I thought the main benefit of DP v1.4 is it's ability to sync very high refresh rate monitors (144Hz and over). Since this is a 5700G APU you're talking about I wonder if that's really a problem since it's unlikely to have the ability to do that on it's own. Since that's about the best APU they'll ever make for AM4 DP version seems a bit of a non-issue. But I may be missing something about it aside from just the refresh data rate capability.

Is it easy to understand?

Interesting. If i really dont need 1.4, then i think MSI can be a winner here.

As for the asrock, is that a good choice?

The Asrock Taichi is a excellent motherboard, rock solid power delivery, good overclocker and all the features a premium motherboard has.
One advantage of the B550 is the price, you are getting a high end motherboard with a midrange chipset that offset some of the premium cost.

It's very easy.... there are 4 LED's. 1 labeled CPU, 1 labeled VGA, 1 labeled RAM and 1 labeled BOOT. They will light in turn during POST as the respective sub-system is being initialized. If one fails, the boot process stops there with that LED glowing so you know where the problem is. It's really all an average user needs to know. A DR Debug display (the two digit readout) provides more information once you interpret the code, that's useful to extreme overclockers who're doing crazy things like warm starts before putting LN2 in the pot or want to know just how extremely OC'd memory failed to initialize, for instance.

I don't know if you need...or even want... DP 1.4 since I'm not sure of all it's benefits. I know you really need to get a DP 1.4 capable cable too or it won't work, but that's relatively easy to remedy.

I like the MSI board because I've had very good luck with them. I think Asrock has also been a solid board for AM4 systems though.

Thank you. I just saw that the regular taichi is sold out, i assume the razer edition isnt that much different. Might seem a bit "bloated" with the razer software... or if i dont install those i'll be fine?

Thank you. I will keep this in mind as i finish making up a decision whether to get Taichi or the MSI

Debug codes make little difference since most you can buy a 3 buck speaker for the board that gives beep codes.

That and many now have LED's for troubleshooting too. A $250 board is kinda overkill, for a 5700g.

I thought gigabyte wasn't a good brand?
