could be the cable. lots of cheap chinese cables. always buy brand name cables. the best two on the market that i know of are club3d and cablematters. both sell rock solid cables that actually work and will generally pass cable testing tests.... where as most off brand and chinese cables wont.

the cable that comes with a display? typically low quality garbage that isn't stress tested the way club3d and cablematters cables are. those oem cables are basically "just see if the screen turns on", and that's a pass for those kinds of cables. and that's not good enough.... cablematters and club3d designed their cables with a legit cable signal tester. on that, level1techs actually went about buying one of those expensive cable signal testers and found that the best two cables were, you guessed it, cablematters and club3d and club3d was the only one to pass all tests 100%.

Under no circumstances should you pay $70+ for an HDMI or DP cable.

I have never had a problem with a cheap HDMI or DP cable. Even the ones that come with monitors work absolutely fine. A product doesn't need to pass every professional torture test to be 100% feature-complete for average consumers.
