Beware of the Asus it reportedly has slow response time unacceptable for gaming (read the reviews). I would advise you to look into the QN90B or QN90C I have them both and they are amazing with fast response perfect VRR and brilliant HDR. You'll love it.I just ran over to Best Buy and picked up an overpriced RocketFish cable to try after having issues with DisplayPort. Best Buy is much closer than MicroCenter. It's got the certification logo and the info from the scanning app matches the box. So the cable should be fine. Of course it could still be defective, but I'm not buying yet another cable or abusing a retailer by "renting" one after trying the "8k" HDMI cable (48Gbps), a DP 2.0 cable (77Gbps) and the DP cable that came with it. By my calculation that's 3 strikes, so it's out of here.
Have you used one with an NVidia Ampere card? I have a 3090.
At this point I'm not inclined to try another Samsung. They pissed me off with that buggy Odyssey Neo G7 monitor I bought. It's going back to MicroCenter tomorrow.
I'm seriously thinking about that Asus PG42UQ 41.5" OLED screen again. I'll need to get a new desk, but I took some measurements and can fit a setup with 2 of these big screens in my existing space and still have enough room for a 24" side screen or two in portrait mode. I'll just keep using my 4yo old Dell 43" 4k IPS screen as my main work monitor and the OLED will serve as a side screen unless I'm gaming, watching a movie, or doing some sort of artwork (not likely on that last one...). That IPS screen is actually better for work (programming & office apps) than the Samsung. It's a little easier on the eyes and the text is better.
