I've been having the same issue. Dell monitors have this weird features such as MST and DP 1.2. Turn it off and see if it works see full list: https://www.dell.com/community/Monitors/Single-monitor-on-a-PC-MST-Off-DisplayPort-1-2-Disable/td-p/6131242
(you turn this off in the screen options that is built in, not on the mac)
This did help for me, for people who may not see.
