I have a Razer Blade 15 and I personally use this dock.

I originally had a USB-C dock instead of the thunderbolt 3 and whenever I would run anything that used the NVIDIA graphics card it would make the screens flicker. (USB-C is 10gbps while thunderbolt 3 is 40gbps)
This dock runs everything perfectly and is the best I could find for a reasonable price.
Note: if you have non display port monitors you need an active dongle instead of a passive one. I have two HDMI monitors (1080p & ultrawide 1080p) and I had bought two dongles but they were passive so I returned them and got active dongles (linked below).

As for charging, the Razer Blade 15 needs a 200+ watt charger while both USB-C and thunderbolt 3 max out at 90w. I really wanted the single cable setup as well, but the two cables are a must.
Hope this helped fellow gamer
Display port to hdmi cables usually only support 1080p.
You want an active converter. I have this one. It works quite well
Something like this should work: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M5DX296/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YB6hzbWC7VZKF
Would this one work?

In case you haven't found one yet.

Is the cable just one end Displayport, one end HDMI? If it is, then it looks like it is passive.
And idk how Windows does it.
This is the adapter I bought:

Please note that I'm currently experiencing tearing on my 25UM58 and I cannot conclude if it is due to this adapter or if it is due to Linux. Tearing is noticeable when watching videos or playing games.
So, I'm guessing the GPU can 'power' the KVM, but the KVM can't 'power' the monitor ??
Would something like this work - if I plugged the DP end in to the KVM and then an HDMI cable to the monitor ?

Something like this one maybe.
Or this one although it takes a USB port.
Not sure if they work, but I don't see why it wouldn't.
Either way I'm glad Asus provided 2 HDMI ports as current gen VR headsets use HDMI for video input — even if they did include the USB Type C connector for future VR headsets.
