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.

TO ADMINS: please, place the post below at the end of this thread (page 7) because it contains the SOLUTION. But each time that I post there on page 7, it shows on page 4. Thanks.

This post should be at the end of this thread and not here, but this forum automatically places it on page 4. So, I have deleted its contents. And after doing it it was placed on page 7. The original message was as follows (posted on page 7 but shows on page 4):

WOW, WOW, WOW!!!

I just cannot believe it. Amazing, fantastic, terrific!!!

Apple FIXED it with macOS 13.6.5 (22G621) Ventura. Note that you may need to switch from

01-Apple - Systen Settings - Displays - Use as - Extemded display (shows Panasonic-TV with black content) does NOT show Mac content on TV

02-Apple - Systen Settings - Displays - Use as - Mirror for Built-in Display (shows Panasonic-TV with Mac desktop picture content) displays Mac content on TV and then also option 01 above works

While playing Mac movie on TV it shows as

03-Apple - Systen Settings - Displays - Use as - Main display (shows Panasonic-TV with black content) while playing Mac movie on TV

Many thanks, Apple. When it seemed impossible, Apple listened and fixed it. Better later than never. YOU MADE MY DAY!!!

Hi DavidinPimlico, thanks for the information, but what worked for you? Upgrading to macOS 14 Sonoma? Which version (build)? Unfortunately, some Macs cannot be upgraded to Sonoma.

Why when I reply to the last message on page 7 the message shows here on page 4? It should show on page 7.
