Purple Mac Screen After Plugging in a Monitor:


A. Confim Compatibly:

Find the model number on the back of the monitor, and then find the User Manual on the Manufacturer's web site. See if it is compatible with Macs.


B. 4K or 5K, Perhaps?:

It may be a frequency error, or high definition rate. So, you man need to use a particular type of cable for this.
