Hi!

The monitor is LG - 34” UltraWide FHD HDR FreeSync Monitor with USB Type C

I am using the only USB-C port on the monitor; the port itself is fine!

It turns out the cable that comes stock with the MacBook Pro AND iPad Pro 2020 are both power cables only. I went to Best Buy and purchased a Belkin USB-C 4k capable cable and it runs seamlessly now.

Thanks for reaching out!

What model of LG monitor is this?

What port on the monitor are you using?

Are you sure the USB-C port you are using on the monitor is for video input, and not just a data passthrough?
