Macbook Air recognizes display but display returns no HDMI signal
Hello,
I am having issues connecting my Macbook Air to an external monitor using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. The Mac recognizes the display but the display itself does not find an HDMI connection. The display otherwise works for a Macbook Pro I have on a USB-C to USB-C connection. I've tried multiple output displays, all of which have the same error. I've also tried scaling the display to all of the possible options in System Prefs. I do not have any other older Mac devices that also have a Mini DisplayPort to check the input. I don't believe my Macbook Air has any other ports that offer video output. Details below:
Input:
- Mid 2013 (MacBookAir6,2)
- 13.3-inch (1440 × 900)
- OS: macOS 11.7.9 (Big Sur)
Output:
- DELL U2723QE Display
- 27-inch (2560 × 1440)
Connection:
- Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Display Adapter Cable
- 4K@60Hz
- Brand new
Error:
- No HDMI signal from your device.
System Information:
DELL U2723QE:
Resolution: 1440 x 900 (Widescreen eXtended Graphics Array Plus)
UI Looks like: 1440 x 900 @ 60.00Hz
Framebuffer Depth: 24-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
Display Serial Number:

Could I get some help on this issue? Thanks!
