Hey there tompen1,
I see that your new MacBook Pro is not providing the desired output when connected to your external monitor. You may want to try detecting the display when your new computer is connected to it using the information in this article:
Detect your display
If you're using an external display, sleep and wake your Mac to make it check for connected displays:
- Press the power button on your computer to put it to sleep, or choose Apple menu > Sleep.
- Wait a few moments, then press a key on your keyboard or click your mouse or trackpad to wake your Mac.
If you're using more than one display, and you can see the image on one of the displays, you can also use Displays preferences to check for connected displays.
