Please share the cable and mobo details. Did Dell provide cable and are you using any adapter to convert hdmi to DP?

We have same displays in office and my previous laptop could connect and that was powered by a dual core 8th gen shitty ulp cpu.

i5 10400 16 gb ram gigabyte b460 m, got the following cables dp, thunderbolt, not using any adapter
 
If you have another display, connect and install drivers to Windows for your Dell Ultrasharp display.
If the cable you are using is not one that came with Dell package, please verify if it supports 2K resolution. These are the two culprits in most cases.
Your mobo indeed support HDMI 1.4 and HDCP 2.3 so this is not a problem.
Worst case, see if you can borrow someones laptop and connect to that.

HDMI is usually easy to fix.
Plug into your motherboard or another PC/laptop and install the drivers & then plug again to your main computer.
This is a general fix for no display issues.

I was using zebronics hdmi from amazon and it's going good from the past 5 years. Just don't overspend.

Guys do i need a gpu to achieve 120 hz currently it is on 60 hz by default not playing games but will 120 hz work in normal scenarios like watching downloaded 4k videos or for youtube ?

Nope. 95% videos are 60 Hertz, so no. Yeah, if you game or scroll a lot on webpages, it will feel more fluid, but real world is a big no unless the content you are watching supports that many frames. I use a LG TV - 48 inch OLED, its a 4K 120 Hertz.
Only while playing on PS5 or PC is where that 120 hertz truly shines.
