I think you just have got unlucky on cards/monitor choices.
Who would have thought you'd have to sit around all day
in the year 2021, doing a flow chart for videocard/monitor
picking ?
As a luddite, mine are still VGA. Plus a handful of HDMI to VGA
and DP to VGA adapters (both of which, run off the +5V on
the vid output connector of the computer). The VGA connector
on the PC, is the only vid connector where the power pin was
removed as if it was a diseased tooth :-) At one time (older kit),
the pin was on there, but they removed it. Presumably, because
it was getting shorted out and they were too lazy to install a
Polyfuse in the path.
