BLADE 14 - USB-C to Display Port
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.

I’m using this dongle to connect 3070 blade 14 to 1440p g sync 27 external monitor. It should detect usb c as DP when using “right” dongle, maybe try another one other than that you tried before.
Edit: Amazon link apparently can’t be shown so look at attachment.

dont know if there was a solution to this but I am having the same problem. I am trying to connect to an LG 32gk850g monitor and it wont work. I have a 2021 razer 17 3080 360hz...only detects it as a usb 2.0 billboard. I tried 3 different cables all saying thunderbolt compatible. any help?

Str8derpnDid you try all usb c ports? Which cpu is it, 11gen? Yes that g sync monitor need a display port to be able to use g sync.

Str8derpnYes both are thunderbolt which’s connected to intel cpu basically, older model had only one thunderbolt and other usb c acts as DP connected directly to nvidia gpu. Did you also try on nvidia gpu only on synapse?
i7 11th gen. yes i tried both ports
yes I did. after wasting hours of time and money buying cables and adapters since thats what they said this issue was...I decided to do my own research. you know what I found? it turns out that razer released a bios update on sept 20th for this exact issue. How is it that 3 calls to support and nobody even caught that? my thread he was locked by a razer support person to discuss this issue privately...never mentioned the update. seems razer "support" is pretty much a joke that they didnt even know about their own update to fix the issue. god forbid a have a hardware issue...this is probably getting returned...no faith. thank you joikansai for trying to help me with this...
Str8derpnhey mate, did you eventually find a solution to this problem? i have Blade 14, LG 27GP850 and cannot connect via USB-C to DP. am really superangry, razer support is doing nothing and polish shop where i bought the laptop is doing nothing either...
no faith. thank you joikansai for trying to help me with this...
Yes listed this fix in the post above this. The laptop had a bios update that their customer service knew nothing about. Found it by looking online myself. Wasted so much time on the phone with them… horrible tech support
i tried using bios updater from here: https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5502/~/razer-blade-14-%282021%29-bios-updater-%7C-rz09-0370
but it doesnt really seem to work: says that detected components are up to date. And my bios version is 1.06.
