Razer Blade 14 USB-C to DisplayPort Issue

I recently purchased a new Razer Blade 14 and new 34" ASUS TUF VG34VQLIB Monitor. I was able to successfully connect to the monitor using HDMI to HDMI. I wanted to connect to it using USB-C to Display Port. I understand the laptop's USB-C port is not Thunderbolt compatible, but I thought it should still allow me to connect to the monitor. Unfortunately, it will not recognize the monitor. I am using Amazon's USB-C to DisplayPort cable, which says it supports Thunderbolt. I was unable to find on Amazon, NewEgg or BestBuy a cable that supports USB-C (3.2) to DisplayPort. Please let me know if there is such a cable or if I need to change a setting either on the laptop or monitor. Thanks.

That's right. The Razer Blade 14's USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C in the laptop does not transfer DisplayPort signal but is used to charge an external monitor with DisplayPort 1.4 since it is supported with a 20V USB-C charger that has PD (Power Delivery) 3.0. Also, the laptop may or may not work to any third-party cable adapters since the unit has not been tested with these accessories. I’ll be locking this thread now.
