Are USB-C DisplayPort cables good?
If you are looking for a bidirectional USB-C to DisplayPort cable, the one from AmazonBasics makes for a good buy. It can pass signals up to 3840×2160 at 60 Hz. Since it’s a bidirectional cable, you can, at times, use it to pass video signal from a DisplayPort port to a USB-C monitor.
Do all USB-C ports support DisplayPort?
But USB-C, depending on the specific port’s implementation, can do much more. But while the USB-C standard supports connecting DisplayPort and/or HDMI displays with an adapter (via the DisplayPort-over-USB protocol), not every PC maker has connected the ports to every system’s graphics hardware.
Can I use Type-C to connect to an external monitor?
Plug the USB-C end of the adapter into the USB-C port on your Surface. Take the video cable that’s connected to your external display or TV, and then plug the other end of it into the adapter. The cable to use depends on your display and the type of video connection it uses—DisplayPort, HDMI, or VGA.

Is HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4 better?
Both standards are capable of delivering a good gaming experience, but if you want a great gaming experience, right now DisplayPort 1.4 is generally better than HDMI 2.0, HDMI 2.1 technically beats DP 1.4, and DisplayPort 2.0 should trump HDMI 2.1. However, DisplayPort is still the preferred standard for PC monitors.

Is there a USB-C cable for a GPU monitor?
While the package includes all the necessary cables and power adapters to run via USB-C to USB-C or HDMI to mini HDMI + USB-C power (which I have already used both ways), I was wondering if there is a cable which can go from a GPU DisplayPort output to USB-C with power delivery which would make it a single cable operation similar to USB-C to USB-C.

For example, a mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter can’t be connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter. If your display has more than one video connection, see if using another connection on the display works. If possible, check to see if using a different display or a different adapter works. Try using a different cable that you know is in working order.
