Windows 10: DisplayPort to HDMI Cable Samsung Odyssey G7 - Will this fix monitors not being recognized...

Recently, I changed my setup when I purchased a Samsung Odyssey G7, in order to get the full features, I had to use the provided Display Port. However, when turning off a monitor, not only does it shift all of my programs onto the device I shut off last, but it also does not get recognized when using Splashtop. Why is this important? If I go somewhere and need to access a photo, a video, or even a website on my computer, I can't unless I leave my monitors on, which is inconvenient.

This doesn't happen in HDMI, but then I also can't use 240hz, HDR, or above 1080p(Makes no sense). Could I use a DisplayPort to HDMI cable(HDMI portion in the monitor) to get around this, as long as the HDMI is 2.1 or higher?

When Samsung Odyssey attached via HDMI, dual displayport monitors fail to turn on.

I have a Samsung Odyssey WMR headset plugged into the HDMI port of my ASUS GeForce RTX2080 card (DUAL-RTX2080-O8G), and two Dell P2415Q monitors plugged into the two displayports of the same card.

Everything works fine UNTIL I power down both monitors (usually when I'm done for the day). The next morning neither monitor gets a signal, and if I turn on the WMR headset I can see a version of my desktop. Unplugging the headset does nothing, the monitors
never get a signal. I usually have to reboot the computer.

Currently, I just unplug the WMR headset's HDMI cable (I leave the USB attached) when I'm done for the day. It's a bit of a pain since I have to crawl under the table to get to the back of the computer.

So, I'm wondering, is there a better way? Am I missing a setting someplace?

Thanks,

Sergio

 

Monitor Recommendation for Dual Monitor with Displayport, HDMI, DVI

Anyone?


Okay so if im going to buy the asus monitor i posted which has displayport, dvi and vga and NO HDMI...



which cable should i buy then?

$7 Hdmi to Dvi cable?


Amazon.com: AmazonBasics HDMI Input to DVI Output Adapter Cable - 6 Feet (Latest Standard): Home Audio Theater


$15 usb-c to displayport

Amazon.com: USB C to DisplayPort Cable [email protected], CHOETECH USB 3.1 Type C to DP Cable Thunderbolt 3 Port Compatible with 2017 iMac,MacBook Pro,Dell XPS 15/13,ChromeBook Pixel,Samsung Galaxy S9/Note 8/S8(4ft/1.2m): Computers Accessories


The one thing that would concern me a bit is... would the hdmi to dvi cable support 1920x1200 on my asus monitor? My laptop resolution is 1920 x 1080. The samsung monitor i use is 1920 x 1200 and i connect hdmi to hdmi and it is that resolution. But i also have usb c to hdmi cable. So if i buy the hdmi to dvi cable, then i would use the usb c to hdmi cable for my samsung monitor right?


I know vga is very bad. But is dvi okay? Or should i use displayport? I know vga is very old but isn't dvi basically hdmi? So can someone suggest which cable i buy with the monitor that i will buy which won't have an hdmi port? Or should i just pay more for that other asus monitor with hdmi port instead.
