Can't connect HP monitor 19ka to my MacBook

Got an HP 19ka monitor and it's not recognizing my MacBook - any ideas how to do it? Isn't this supposed to be plug and play? I'm using Mojave.

my MacBook Air will not recognize my monitor I just today received my new MacBook Air with the M1 chip, and have been enjoying it, although I've been unable to connect it to my Samsung CJ791 which supports thunderbolt 3. Does anyone know if I'm missing something? To my understanding it is supposed to be supported natively.

HP Z27i doesn't see Macbook Pro Hi, I'm attempting to use an HP Z27i monitor with a 2019 Macbook Pro. Currently attempting the connection with a Cable Creation DVI adapter. When the connection is made, the Macbook Pro reacts and the screen changes to "look" like as it does when it's successfully connected to an external monitor. But then the HP monitor becomes unresponsive. HP says I have to replace the monitor, but I suspect it's a relatively easier fix than that -- except that I can't think of it. Any help greatly appreciated.

its not plug and play with third party displays. Normally user will have to set the connection method in the display software.
