I wiped it clean during installation so no previous settings.

The HDPI icon pop ups automatically on ventura in display settings.

I would also change the cable and try a different one if that doesn't work. Sometimes the DP cable end up causing issues with monitor recognition.

Upgraded to Ventura, but didn't help display issues unfortunately. I've got a thunderbolt cable that came with the monitor. I've tried that as well as two different HDMI cables. My MBP doesn't have a DP input. Is it worth trying DP with a DP to USB-C adapter? I may have one laying around somewhere.

No. I meant if you have a DP to USB type C cable, you may switch to see if issue resolved.

Try plugging it in and out a few times (yes, it worked for me when it went back to not recognizing).

I have the same mac but a different 4K monitor. Sadly, I don't know any other solution.

Macbook display and scaling handling on external monitors is one of the worst I have experienced by a long margin so know you are not alone.

Got it, thank you. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to do a clean install at this moment without some interruption to my work, but I'll try that later if I need to.
