Monitor connection via Type-C

I would like to connect my MSI Prestige 15 A10SC to a LG 32UP550-W monitor via Type-C port but it doesn’t work.

No display, only charging. lsusb can detect the monitor.

The spec of the laptop states the type-C port support DP and Thunderbolt 3 so I believe the display output is possible.

Anyone has experience of how to make it works?

lsusb: Device 010 is the monitor

kernel:

Try installing latest (maybe latest lts) kernel and see if support improves. 5.15 is pretty old.

Upgraded the kernel to 6.1.31 but still not working. dmesg shows an error when I connect the type-c cable:

Thanks but it seems to be irrelevant. I’m not using a DisplayLink device.
