Oh man. I used to have an Asus monitor that would crash if you connected a sleeping MacBook, then woke up the MacBook. You had to unplug the monitors power for a few seconds to reboot it.
My current LG 34BK95U had an issue where MacOS would sometimes refuse to send the correct resolution or even aspect ratio. The workaround was to force it to DP1.2 instead of 1.4 (over thunderbolt), but then my Windows machine couldn't send the full resolution/refresh rate over DisplayPort. LG eventually put out a firmware update to fix that.
On the other hand, they still haven't fixed the false claim on their website that it supports a 75hz refresh rate. It's identical hardware to their 34WK95U, including the 60hz maximum refresh rate.
A previous LG monitor I had falsely claimed 60 USB PD laptop charging on their website. The hardware only supported 7.5w. It was the same scenario, where the consumer model has correct specs, and the business model has identical hardware and falsely inflated specs.
I think every single 4k/5k monitor I've ever owned, from LG, Dell, etc. have had useless HDMI ports that were unable to drive the monitor at the correct resolution and refresh rate. You had to settle for either 30hz or a blurry low-rez picture.
