Q: MacBook Air running 10.10.1 does not recognize my Samsung S24D590L monitor.

I own two MacBook Airs, bought the same day and both running Yosemite 10.10.1. I also own two Samsung S24D590L monitors. One Mac will recognize either monitor and the other recognizes neither monitor. I can see no difference in any setting between the the Macs. Can anyone offer suggestions?

Hi Mac owner2,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like a Mac is not recognizing two different displays. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

I've got a much older 204b connecting to a 2013 MBA i7. VGA maxed out at a significantly lower resolution. Multiple cables tested that were DVI --> DVI adapter --> black screen.

Wow! Mine os from 2003. Guess this is a shot in the dark.

"DVI to HDMI cable" --> HDMI miniport display adaptor. Full 1600 x 1200 or 1200 x 1600. The HDMI adaptor is Belkin. The HDMI to DVI cable is Dynex.
