What connection are you currently using from the Mac mini to the Viewsonic?


First try unplugging and then plugging the monitor back into the Mac mini.


If that doesn't help, shut down the Mac mini by holding the power button for 10 seconds, turn off and disconnect the monitor. Then reconnect, turn on the monitor and startup the Mac mini.


If that doesn't help, shut down the Mac mini by holding the power button for 10 seconds and restart the Mac mini with a NVRAM reset, as per > Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support


If all else fails, try a different connect between the Mac mini and Viewsonic monitor.

the connections options to the monitor include:

HDMI to HDMI

USB-C to VGA

USB-C to HDMI

USB-C to DisplayPort

So what fixed it? I have a new 2023 M2 Mac Mini and my 2 yr old Viewsonic monitor VA2252Sm will not come in clear. It is set to the recommended 1920 x 1080 but it is still out of whack. I Had DVI to DVI/HDMI adapter that worked perfectly with my 2014 Mac Mini, but alas not on my 2023, then I tried a new DVI cable and new DVI/HDMI adapter-no go, then purchased a DVI/HDMI adapter for monitor and new HDMI cable-no go. Nothing works. And there are no monitor software updates or firmware updates for a Mac only for Windows. Do you think a DP to USB-C would do the trick? My monitor does not have an HDMI port. Only DVI or DP. Help!
