Every once in a while I get a black screen after waking my mac mini up from sleep. I have a 28" Samsung monitor model #U28E590D. The only way to recover is reboot the mini.
Anybody else got this?
Mac mini 2018 or later
How are you connected and how long is the cable? I recommend HDMI 2. Then check/set the following:
If it works, you can turn game mode on again. If it doesn’t, instead of rebooting, try power cycling the monitor from the OSD to make it come back up again.
I am connected using Thunderbolt 3 on the mini to a displayport input on the monitor. My Eco saving is off, Response time is set to "acceleration" (not sure what that means), off timer is off, PIP/PBP is off and game mode is off.
Like I said it doesn't happen all the time but the next time I will try your suggestion.
Thanks.
I would move to HDMI port 2 with a cable not longer than 3 feet, preferably certified. DisplayPort connectors have been ditched by Apple, and mileage varies on third-party dongles. It’s pointless hanging on to them when you have alternatives.
All the best!
