For LG monitors, the business version, when available, is identical hardware but with a longer warranty, often for about the same price. But, you can't trust their listed specs if they differ from the consumer model.

For example, the 34BK95U-W is identical to the 34WK95U-W except for the longer warranty. However, LG's website claimed the B varraint supported a 75hz refresh rate when I got it, but it only supports 60hz, same as the consumer model.

Similarly, LG's 43MU79-B only supports 7.5W of power output on the USB-C port despite https://www.lg.com/us/business/desktop-monitors/lg-43MU79-B still claiming it supports "60W PD". In reality, it's identical to the 43UD79-B. (I notified them of this over a year ago, but they don't seem to care enough to correct it.)

Shit like that makes me want to avoid LG entirely.

Re the power output, try a different cable.
