Never thought it could be the monitor. I have an HP dock with an HP laptop for work and it's totally unreliable waking from sleep.

My chances of getting new monitors are slim in this climate but it's a new avenue of investigation at least.

USB4 or 240Hz monitors are more likely to have a modern HDMI/DP chipset, relative to 60Hz monitors. It’s not a certain relationship but it can be a useful filter for dreck to narrow one’s choices to monitors that support either USB4, or 4K at 75+ fps, since that wipes out a lot of old HDMI 2.0 chipsets — which is a useful, if imperfect, proxy for Thunderbolt chipset quality. A monitor that’s just trying to hit $100 will cheerfully target old HDMI and old DisplayPort with random-old-DSC. For Apple gear, random crap like that will typically end up being a disaster for Apple laptops, anyways, because Apple takes for granted that all of those stacks are in sync and before USB4 they rarely were.

It's apparently some kind of fluke, maybe the 27" model is out of production. The 32" model costs a little over 700, which is the current price range. I just paid 640€ for an LG 32" 4K OLED (+165 Hz FreeSync) monitor.
