Then, one day, we plugged a colleague’s HP laptop into my monitor and once I returned to my laptop again, the video again stopped working.
I had a spare Caldigit USB-C dock lying around and switched to using that, feeding the monitor via HDMI from the dock.

This week I have a new laptop (HP) and it worked fine with the Caldigit until I got a low battery warning and realised that for some reason it wasn’t charging from the Caldigit. Connecting it directly to the monitor via USB-C does work fine though. I feel like the standards-compliance testing on USB-C gear isn’t rigorous enough - this sort of fussiness shouldn’t happen.
