Samsung OLED G8 Not Detecting Device

I received this monitor yesterday, only came with a display port to mini DP cable. Needed to go to BestBuy to buy a cable that can work with my current setup.

Unfortunately when I came home the monitor was not detecting my device. I figured that it was probably the cable considering that it’s from bestbuy. I went back to Best Buy to try another cable just to confirm that the monitor works. However, this cable did not work either. They were different cables as well.

First cable was from the j5 brand, hdmi to usb c Second cable is a Philips hdmi to mini DP

The devices I tested it on were a ASUS gaming laptop and an MacBook Pro M2 Max. Both laptops did not detect the monitor.

I’m worried that the monitor might be at fault here. I’d appreciate any feedback, thank you!
