It connects to my AOC 27G2G4 just fine, but for my Samsung s27r35x it starts normally then goes black after a few seconds. The Mac still acknowledges the monitor is connected but the screen remains blank and the power LED on the monitor flashes as if nothing was connected.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

I bought a UNI USB C to DisplayPort Cable 3ft (4K@60Hz, 2K@165Hz), uni Thunderbolt 3 to DisplayPort Cable and connect my Samsung monitor to my new MacBook Air M1. The monitor displays perfectly, as long as the table is a direct connect to the MBA.
When I connect the cable to the StayGo USB-C Hub by TwelveSouth, the monitor display doesn't appear although I have turned it on. This is a bummer because if I have to connect the charging cable to the MBA and the monitor, I cannot plug in any USB flash or back up drive at the same time.
(I really miss the mag charger cable)
Kinda late, but question: do you connect to both monitors using the same cable? I have heard that the M1 chip does have external monitor issues... also, can't be used as a eGPU :(
