Laptop External Monitor Wont Sync in DP Alt Mode

Post by baliskid » 08 May 2024, 11:16

Hello everyone i have a MSI Stealth 16 Mercedes Edition and my external monitor is the aopen 27HC5R_Z the ports are 2 hdmi 2.0 and 1 display port 1.4. When i connect it to hdmi it can read the 240hz even in games but when i test it in the ufo it cant sync and it wont lock into 240hz. I bought a usb c to displayport and it works fine it can also detect 240hz even in games but it also has the same problem with the hdmi it cant lock into 240hz in the blur test in ufo. When i connect it into the thunderbolt port the it now locks into 240hz and it says ready. The problem is that when i connect it into the thunderbolt port it connects to the igpu and i want it to connect to the egpu which is via the usb c dp alt mode or the hdmi. I don't know whats the problem.

another fix that i found is that you need to use your laptop monitor and make your external monitor as main monitor. after that use the extend these displays in the display setting
