Lenovo Legion 7i with Arzopa 16.1 144hz Portable Gaming Monitor

Discussion

Hi!

So i am having trouble connecting a portable monitor to my Legion 7i through usb-c.

The Arzopa 16.1 144hz monitor has thunderbolt usbc capability with power delivery, and includes a usbc - usbc cord with power delivery. I know and have read through manuals that the 9th Gen Lenovo Legion 7i has this capability as well, but when i try it, the monitor receives power but cannot be detected. Additionally, i get an error from windows 11 saying that the USB is not recognized.

ive gone through several forums and reddits and cannot find an answer, what am i doing wrong?

Ive changed the laptop over to dGPU mode, i dont have fast start enabled, and i do not have surroundX settings on nvidia control panel, it is blocked out
