Q: Mac mini 2014 won't wake monitor via HDMI

Hello! I just purchased a brand new Mac mini (Late 2014), 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 with Intel Iris 1536 MB, running Yosemite 10.10. It's connected to an Acer K242HL monitor via HDMI.

 

The monitor connection works correctly (I'm typing this on it now), until I attempt to wake the monitor from sleep. The Mac itself clearly wakes when I click the mouse (the white light stops blinking and stays solid), but the monitor does not respond. I have to power off/on the monitor to get it to wake up.

 

I have previously used the monitor with a MacBook Pro (via HDMI) in clamshell mode and had no problems with it waking up straight away, so I'm assuming the problem lies with the Mac mini.

 

Can anyone offer any advice about this? It's very annoying not being able to quickly wake up the display when I need to use the Mac.

 

Thanks!

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

    I have exact same problem with mini 2012 and 2014....different monitors made no difference.  this is absolutely without a doubt a failing on the part of Apple and they have done nothing to fix....i am chucking my mini, may just chuck Apple
