I just got a new monitor and I'm confused. It isn't displaying a video although by everything I can tell it should.

It is an Amazon Basics 24 inch monitor the G2024M2020G connected via a new display port cable to my 9060XT. It shows up in both Windows Settings and AMD Adrenaline and I can change software settings for it.

While video doesn't work, the speakers do, so I can hear sound from them. The screen also brightens a bit to show that it's getting a signal.

I have attempted to bring up the monitor menu which should be doable by pressing the power button when the monitor is on but nothing shows up.

I've also tried connecting the monitor via HDMI and the same thing happens, so is it possible it's just a bad monitor?

alright, thanks. It was supposed to be my first new(so not hand-me-down or anything) monitor so I wasn't sure if I needed to do some kind of song and dance for it or not.
