macOS 13 Ventura BREAKS Panasonic TV connection via HDMI

macOS 13 Ventura BREAKS Panasonic TV connection via HDMI.


The "Apple - System Settings - Displays" shows the Built-in Display ONLY. The Panasonic Smart Viera TX-L47DT60E television (TV) is not shown, even after pressing the Option key and "Detect Displays". Nothing else is detected.


Is there a way to fix it, or is it a Ventura bug?


No problem with previous macOS versions, including Sierra, Big Sur or Monterey, in which such TV automatically showed in "Apple - System Preferences - Displays".


System: macOS 13.3 (22E252) Ventura on iMac 27-inch Retina 5K display 4.2 GHz Intel Core i7 7th-generation; model identifier iMac18,3 mid 2017) 40 GB RAM.

Is your TV Panasonic? The problem is with such devices on Ventura.

sorry, no. my TV is a Samsung. the SMC and NVRAM resets can usually resolve issues with external displays for Intel Macs, which is why I suggested it. since it didn't work in your case, and also happens for others on similar TVs, it could be an issue on that end or with the Mac itself.


you may want to send apple some feedback. Feedback - macOS - Apple

Thanks. That is connecting the HDMI port of the Mac mini to the HDMI port of the Panasonic TV using a HDMI cable.


But the iMac does not have HDMI port. So, I used the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter

USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter - Apple

to connect the Thunderbolt 3 port of the iMac to the HDMI cable to the Panasonic TV. In such a case, the Mac does not see the TV when using Ventura. No problem with previous macOS versions. Therefore, the problem is in Ventura.

This is true macOS Ventura Bug. Apple, please, fix it in Ventura, since some Macs cannot be further upgraded to newer macOS versions.

Thanks for the information. Which configuration(s) did you test?


Please indicate television name and model, macOS version and build, Mac model (Intel or Apple silicon; model Identifier and release date). When using Thunderbolt port? When using HDMI port? Using adapter? Which one? Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter (link above)?


All such information is important to determine when the bug arises. Thanks again!


Since this is a Ventura bug, it is important to send feedback to Apple:

To Moderetor that edited my post above:


Thanks, but NO. Apple Feedback at

Product Feedback - Apple

is NOT the best place to send BUG reports. The best place is using the Apple Feedback Assistant at

https://feedbackassistant.apple.com

I do that all the time and Apple answers me, requesting information, etc. That way I have contributed to fixing many bugs in the past. Please, do NOT delete such Apple Assistant link. Thanks!
