HP 2159M External Monitor - What gives?
I recently purchased an HP 2159m monitor, after hearing good reviews about it from people on this and other forums who use macs. I also purchased a Mini Displayport to HDMI adaptor from monoprice, and have the monitor all connected to my Macbook Pro.
Occasionally, my macbook's screen will flash baby blue when connected, and the monitor says it's connected, however in System Preferences the Macbook Pro does not recognize the monitor and says no external monitor is connected. Thinking drivers might perhaps fix it, I looked online and found that there are no OS X drivers for this monitor.
What gives? How are other people using this monitor when it apparently seems mac-incompatible for me? I've never even heard of a monitor being incompatible with a Mac.
Has anyone with a similar problem found a solution? HP technical support simply said sorry we don't have a driver for you, talk to the store you bought the monitor from.
