Hello,
I bought a USB C to Displayport Cable 1.4 off amazon. I am trying to use it for my LG Ultrafine 5k and PC and I can’t see anything. It’s even bi-directional. How come it doesn’t work?
Which item code does the cable has?
CAC-1517 or CAC-1557?
The cables do not have the function Power Delivery. That is my geuss. Have you tried with a power source connected?
Which LG UltraFIne 5K display do you have? Only the newer model 27MD5KL will work with a non-Thunderbolt input. Note that the display is limited to 4K60 or maybe 5K39 when Thunderbolt is not used.
I would try a solution that includes USB so you can use the USB features of the display (audio, camera, USB ports, brightness control) such as the Belkin Charge and Sync cable.

There’s also the CAC-1332 which is a HDMI 2.0 to USB-C (includes USB 2.0).
You can also maybe install Boot Camp drivers for the LG UltraFine 5K.
