MacOS Ventura does not detect Dell 2470 WFP monitor.

This was not an issue before Ventura. I am using a Manattan adaptor from Thunderbolt to HDMI.

This happens if I turn of the external monitor, close the Macbook Pro M2 and unplug the monitor and charger.

The workaround to start again seems to be: 1. turn on monitor 2. connect charger and Thunderbolt cable 3. open Macbook.

I like to hear if someone has similar experience and if there is an explanation or solution to this matter.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

2017 Macbook - Not able to connect to 4k monitor via USB C port I'm trying to connect my 2017 MacBook to a Samsung M8 Monitor however the monitor is not able to detect the MacBook via the USB C port input. Since I'm not sure if the issue is with the monitor or the MacBook, I did the following steps to make sure the monitor was functional. The USB C port on the M8 Monitor is able to detect and charge my dell latitude laptop and Samsung galaxy tab s7+ without any issues. I tried using a different USB C cable but still can't connect to the MacBook. The other peripherals connect fine with the different USB C cable. The MacBook is able to connect to the monitor via HDMI input. I used a USB C hub for the MacBook and connected the HDMI to the USB C hub. Ideally, I would prefer using the USB C cable for a cleaner setup. I noticed a weird behavior when I power down the MacBook completely, connect the monitor's USB C cable and turn on the MacBook, the MacBook will charge but still not display on the monitor. However when I disconnect and reconnect the USB C cable while the MacBook is turned on, the MacBook does not charge or connect to the monitor. I tired to reset the MacBook PRAM and SMC but it didn't help. The MacBook is currently running the latest Ventura OS.

MacOS Ventura - External Monitor disconnect I just updated to macOs Ventura, and my external monitor ( Samsung C43J890) Keeps disconnecting every couple of minutes. It is currently connected via USB-C. Was working fine prior to updating to Ventura, so my assumption is that it is related to the OS updated. Mac Book Pro M1Max.

Ultrawide 49" Display <> Macbook Air 2018 in Ventura 13.1 issues Hello, Today I decided to update to macOS Ventura, since doing so I have been experiencing display issues with an external monitor. I believe this is an Apple side issue with macOS Ventura. I have done some research and stumbled upon a few other Apple users having similar issues. On reddit, on /r/ultrawidemasterrace The graphical issue is identical to what I am experiencing (it looks different because my wallpaper is different). I am using a MacBook Air, Retina, 13-inch, 2018 with a 1.6 ghz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 Up to this point, I was having no issue on Monterey or Catalina with running this display. This happened immediately after installing the Ventura software update. For context, I am using a caldigit element hub 4 as my central docking station. I have tried both the hdmi and displayport inputs into this monitor, I normally use dp. I use a dp to lightning converter since the element hub 4 doesn't have DP or HDMI ports, only USB-A and USB-C ports. I have tried connecting the monitor directly to the air, and using the other port for power, this did not help. Users on MacRumor's forum are reporting similar issues since October. Ventura external display problem Temporary fix for external monitor issue over usb-c in Ventura So far, the workarounds seem to be Revert back to previous operating systems Run a process in terminal every single time sudo sleep 20 ; sudo kill -9 $(pgrep WindowServer) Run the monitor in PIP mode (only using half the resolution) Potentially booting from Safe mode Please have one of your Software Engineers address what is causing this bug. My theory is this appears to be tied to the resolution or refresh rate exceeding the graphical capabilities of the macbooks, but this is happening across different models. All of the previous hardware and displays has worked, so it cannot be a hardware issue. I do like the new operating system, and would not want to revert to an older version simply to get my display working again. I have attempted to go into the Displays setting and adjusting the resolution, but I mistakenly selected the "use as main display" dropdown (when using my laptop to adjust settings) and now cannot navigate/access to undo this mistake as it has to be in that mode to see that setting again. Other settings do not allow you to adjust display preferences - another potential fix in the future. I hope apple can roll out a fix quickly, because this is debilitating. Thank you,
