[SOLVED] Help finding a compatible 1.4 Displayport cable for my laptop and monitor

[doubledown99]

No other way to say it but I am a total noob.

My laptop:
MSI GE75 Raider Gaming Laptop - 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10750H - GeForce RTX 2070 - 1080p

My monitor:
LG UltraGear 32" Class QHD Gaming Monitor
Model 32GN63T-B.AUS

I bought this cable for it but it doesn't seem to be compatible. I can plug it in on both sides but it gives me the error "display port might be limited" and the monitor stays blank.

USB C to DisplayPort, Maxonar 8K 60Hz Type-C to DP Cable 10FT/3M (4K 60Hz 144Hz 120Hz 2K 240Hz) VESA Certified 32.4Gbps 1.4 HBR3 Alt Mode Video Adapter for MacBook Pro/iPad Pro, XPS 15 and More

Could someone please tell me what 1.4 displayport cable is compatible? Thanks in advance.

didn't see where it said usb-c port support video out

look like it does have a minidp port, why don't you use that?

Ha. Well....Because I'm pretty clueless and didn't realize that was preferable. Could you recommend a cable?

I recommend Rankie for cable and adapters. Their stuff is quite cheap and one of the best quality and with good care their stuff last pretty much forever plus it comes with lifetime warranty. You can either go for Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable or Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Adapter and use a normal display port cable with it. And for HDMI and displayport versions, as long as the cable is good quality and well shielded it will support all versions. Never buy premium cables they are literally a scam.

look like those 2 only support 4k@30

would get on that support 4k@60.

I need a 1.4dp cable for the G-Sync compatible monitor. You mentioned that my laptop is dp version 1.2 does that mean I can't have a 1.4 cable?

If the cable I showed is not 1,4 and my laptop can use a 1.4 cable could someone please recommend a cable? Thanks and sorry for the confusion.

only said 1.2

you can get and use a dp 1.4 cable. but your laptop is limited to 1.2 bandwidth

1.2 might limit to 144hz on 1440p, but can still use g sync

Thank you so much for taking the time. I've read over and over that I need a 1.4 cable to run on a G-Sync compatible monitor or I will have issues such as flickering. I will return the monitor
