High Sierra DisplayPort issues

Same issue for me. Mac Mini Late 2012, using and lG Ultrawide monitor; DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort. Had zero issues with monitor or cables prior to High Sierra. A couple days after High sierra and my monitor goes haywire and won’t detect display. Tried two more brand new cables and still no go. It will connect via hdmi but I lose the resolution of the ultrawide. Hdmi is not the solution. What is going on with this it’s driving me nuts!

Similar but different. Since upgrading to High Sierra I can no longer connect my HP 1920x1200 monitor to my MacPro 2013. The monitor will connect to my MacBook Air though. And my LG 4k display still works fine with the Mac Pro.

I am having the exact same issue with my ASUS MX229Q ultra wide screen display. It will connect with the HDMI, but the resolution is stretched, as it always was which is why I use the Thunderbolt to displayport cable. It was working a couple of days ago, but now my display says 'no signal'. My MacBook Air recognizes that the display is there in the display system preferences. Please help!

Read back on all the threads here if you haven't. Most issues have been answered that it is a displaylink driver problem.

Go here, http://www.displaylink.com/downloads and download the updated driver for your OS from Dec, and restart your computer. You might find that you need to disconnect the monitor afterwards, then plug back in if it doesnt recognize.

ALSO, the drivers need to be cleared for security in High Sierra now in order for them to be enabled. Read here to make sure you do that after install of the update. http://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1188004-macos-high-sierra- video-functionality-not-enabled

All of this should work for most of the issues listed in this thread. Keep trying, and check for any monitor control software from your manufacturer. LG has some new OnScreen control software that can be downloaded. Perhaps you have something to update there as well? Keep working on it.

I had issues with my LG Ultrawide monitor right after updating my Mac Mini Late 2012 to High Sierra from El Capitain. I connect my ultrawide monitor to the Thunderbolt/displaylink on the mini to the displayport on the monitor, and a Dell monitor to the HDMI port. Once I updated, the displayport was working correctly and all is good.

I have similar issues with High Sierra and my LG 4K monitors connected to my 15-inch MBP 2016 via DisplayPort adapters. The monitors worked fine under Sierra, but are misbehaving badly under High Sierra. I am downloading and installing the updated driver from displaylink.com to see if that fixes the issue.

Anyone know why Apple didn't include the correct driver as part of High Sierra, or at least as part of a recent update? That seems very strange to me, especially since DisplayPort is not some niche technology. You would think someone in Apple's QA group would have noticed the anomalous behavior with a DisplayPort monitor when they're testing High Sierra.

Same issue when upgrading to High Sierra on a 27in Samsung Display, can no longer get HiDPI 2560x1440. Funny thing is I have the same display at work, both show different issues, one does not turn on at all, one flickers, both occasionally turn on after a reboot. Was fine before upgrading... 😟

Seeing as many people are experiencing this problem it is most likely a bug with the software I suggest you report it to apple. See here: Feedback - macOS - Apple

Same issue here with 2015 MBP. When connected to a 4K display using the display port, the laptop freezes randomly, a restart being the only solution. Also running on high Sierra.

I was able to connect my HP ZR24w monitor to my MacPro via a DVI to HDMI connection. Just not with the DisplayPort.

Update 2/5/18 : The updated driver from DisplayLink.com seems to have improved the situation.

The DisplayLink driver did not work for me. They are described at USB DisplayLink drivers. Not DisplayPort drivers.
