Q: Problem with multiple displays
I have added a second monitor to my iMac. The iMac seems to have difficulties recognising the second monitor when it comes out of power saving mode. Sometimes I have to restart the computer one or more times before the second screen starts to receive signal.
I am using a thunderbolt cable and the second monitor is a BenQ GW2760HS
Any suggestions?
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Thunderbolt is explained in http://www.apple.com/thunderbolt/.
You need an adapter cable similar to one of the ones on the following web page:

Please note that not all adapters are created alike, if you buy a cheap one then expect it to give you problems. If you buy a quality one then it should be okay. Once you have the connection made then please follow the advice letter in my initial post.
