Problem connecting Mac Mini M1 to LG Monitor
I have a new Mac mini and new LG monitor (32MP58HQ). Trying to connect them for the first time. The screen starts up but will not read the Mac; it's looking for an input source. The screen shows a circular menu of options, but Picture Mode and Menu are grayed out. Only Exit, Input, and Monitor Off are active. Nothing happens when I use the monitor toggle switch on Input, the other buttons close or turn it off.
I tried an HDMI to VGA Adaptor cable using the HDMI cable that came with the monitor. Nothing. Now trying a thin HDMI cable (from Insignia) to connect them, but still no luck. Could it be a brand-specific issue with the cable?
