M1 Macbook air external display issues with usb-c

I'm just surprised to see how they could come up and put on the market such products without even testing... I mean, having a few guys testing external monitors on a device that only has usb-c connectors type doesn't look like a big mountain to me...

Plus no public words on this issue, no dates, no nothing...

Hey Apple, i'm not plug-in in a Nasa controller.... It's just a freaking monitor !

I understand all the blablabla regarding the fact that it's a new processor and everything but then, you delay your sales by a few weeks and you fix the **** thing !

if they can't fix it within a days I'm returning mine... Didn't paid the prime price to be a beta tester... I need a solid machine...

Hi thank you! I was aware of the option key. This was the only way to get 3440x1440 30Hz. There is no way to change Hz. This is really frustrating for consumers to be catched this way with a unstable f$%$_G high priced laptop.

Hello everyone,

I had a 27 inch thunderbolt from 2017 which i wanted to be my main screen for my new setup with M1 chip. I recently purchased a macbook air M1 and thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 from apple. To my surprise, M1 air did not detect the thunderbolt display at all.

Wherein i have been using the same display with an old macbook Air late 2013 via the thunderbolt port.

To check if the thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 is working fine or not, i connected it to a 2020 Macbook pro intel and the thunderbolt display is identified and all the ports work.

Tried my level best to connect the display to m1 macbook air but failed. I tried the following:

• Updated the os to the latest, now on 11.2.1
• Rebooted couple of times plugged in and out.
• Created a new admin user to see if that works.
• Also tried by installing third party multi display adapter softwares but nothing worked out.

Please suggest me what can i do that my setup comes to life.

I should have listened to the reviewers on Youtube who mentioned this issue. This thing just does not detect any external monitor and I am stuck with this tiny 13" screen. I can live with the constant crashing of most applications including Apple's own applications like Logic Pro on this machine but the tiny screen makes it completely useless for me. This was a waste of money & time. The bottom line: "Do not go by Apple hype. These days they are just interested in creating noise rather than making products that actually are functional."

I acquired another version of the exact same headset setup I was using, with a usb port plugged into an apple USB-c adapter and everything has been working perfectly ever since. Four days now. Hope it continues

I have been using a usb-c to mini display port adapter to connect my M1 MacBook Pro to a 24” Apple Cinema Display, worked perfectly until the last Big Sur update (11.2.3). Display doesn’t work at all now. Logged with Apple support

I thought the same! it's incredible that Apple stil didn't fix this problems! it impossible for me to work this way...

if they can't fix it within a days I'm returning mine... I need a solid machine to work!.

Hi Steve.

Thanks for posting this. Good find.

Did you have to run both tasks? IE First of all there is a link to a general FW updated (to 018).

Then there is an update for the Hub too.

Did you run both or just the first?

I can't connect via Displayport to Samsung Oddessey G7. Have tried all updates. Possibly hardware issue. New Samsung Displayort cable and via Displayport to USB-type C connection. New adapter, Maxnor USB-C DisplayPort 1.4 Adapter. Very confused to why this connection isn't valid, the computer recongnizes the display but nothing displays, HDMI works fine, but Hertz is limited.

Hey guys, wanna ask when you switch the colour profile to dci-p3 on Asus PA279CV will the display become yellowish? I'm having this problem, when i switch back to sRGB mode and standard mode, it wont have the yellow tint on it.

I've updated the display firmware and also reset the monitor. Can you please help to try out on your monitor??

My setup

Macbook air m1 base model- USB C to C connected to Asus PA279CV

i've also tried USB C- HDMI. Still the same problem on DCI-p3 yellow problem

Hi, Steve, does it means that we need to change the usb setting to 2.0 then the monitor only able to run 4K at 60Hz? and will the change to 2.0 affect another performance like the rest of the usb dock and also the usb-c connectivity (image quality and data transfer)?

Thank You

Same issue there ! Mac Mini M1 + LG32UN880: HDMI OK but USC-C/Thunderbold KO (no signal).

There are issues with usb-c cable: it doesn't work at all !! No signal !
