You might need a higher quality usb cable. I run ok with LG 5k display and MacBook Pro m4 max.

5k might be a different story, are you actually running it at 5120p with 2.0 scale? You can get that from running `system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType`, if you are running HiDPI with 5k that'd show something like Resolution: "10240 x 5760", UI Looks like "5120 x 2880"
Interesting yeah. Thanks for posting I see:

  system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType

        LG UltraFine:
          Resolution: 4096 x 2304
          UI Looks like: 2048 x 1152 @ 60.00Hz

To be honest it feels crisp. But good to know maybe I need to upgrade more.
It might be crisp but everything in the UI will be massive leaving you little space to work with.
My LG 5K needs a Thunderbolt cable. With USB-C it will only run at 4K.
Good to know. Thanks!
