I'm aware that display port is capable of daisy-chaining but never seen it done in practice. Wouldn't it require more than a single DP socket though?
Not sure how the same could be done with power. At least most monitors these days have a separate power brick so you only have to deal with a thin low voltage cable above the desk.

If it’s usb c/tb4 then it can also do power as well as video. I’ve got a laptop dock that works this way, usb c to laptop handles all power and video requirements. Not sure about DP, think that may be video only.

Yeah, as @C4r1s says, I think you can do tb4 but think you're limited on refresh rates. I'd be interested in some way of maybe using a power daisy chain but that particular Gigabyte draws 53w and only gives 18w. So I think it's just going to be a minimum of 4 cables and 2 plugs. Which kind of sucks but ho hum.

Also, this monitor: https://www.gigabyte.com/Monitor/AORUS-FO27Q3/sp#sp
I've just ordered one without really thinking it through. What are my options for minimal cabling (ideally some kind of daisy chaining for either data and or power) with this and a second monitor (currently some old BenQ 1080/240hz thing but with the intent of getting another of the same FO27Q3 or similar down the line. Or have I ballsed it and just get a mac meht
