Apple cinema led display 24" widescreen monitor is connected to MacBook Pro but screen is not working

The Apple cinema display that is connected as a second screen for my MacBook Pro is showing as connected in Displays settings but the screen is completely black. Both the in-built webcam and speakers on the cinema display work, but I can't see anything on the screen. Is this a hardware or software issue? Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

Apple Studio Display - disappointed with depth of blacks I've just picked up a new Apple Studio Display for use as an extended monitor alongside my new MacBook Pro M2 and the difference in brightness and contrast (especially the depth of blacks) is really disappointing. I've attached some photos of the two displays sat side by side and would be interested to know what people think. Both displays are set to maximum brightness are use the same black desktop colour. On the second photo i opened the blackscreen.app website and positioned the browser window across both displays as another test. Also attached are some screenshots of the full settings for each display when the images were taken. Is the Studio Display working correctly or is it just a case of Retina 5k being that much inferior to Mini-LED? Should i be looking to adjust the settings somewhere on the Studio Display for optimum performance?
