USB-C to HDMI - no projector output despite recognition in display settings Seems like no progress on this issue New M1 MacBook Air doesn't connect to 4K … - Apple Community currently I'm on at Monterey OS 12.4 with a brand new Macbook Air and still the bug persists unless anyone has a workaround. This is a terrible bug for people wanting to actually use their projector for productive work! Having just spent $70 on a USB-C to HDMI adaptor because there is no HDMI port anymore surely it would be helpful if the apple devs checked that the adaptor would actually work!

How do I get a second monitor or projector to work with my (M1) MacBook Air? I am having trouble with using an external display with my MacBook Air (2020, M1/Silicon). I have a variety of USB3 to HDMI adapters, but none work. The display shows up in the menu when set up 'mirroring', but does not display the screen. I would really like to use it as a second monitor rather than mirroring. Advice would be great. Thanks!

How long is the cable? Use 5’ (1.2m) or less.
