Mojave 10.14.1 External Monitor Not Working

I have a 2015 MacBook Pro and an external monitor hooked up directly to it via HDMI.


External monitor works for about 1 second when connected, then screen goes black.


MacBook Pro recognizes monitor. I have reset the NVRAM (twice)


I have tried both HDMI 1 & HDMI Ports on the monitor, and replaced the HDMI cable. Issue is the same no matter what configuration I try.


Please help me!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Mojave (10.14.1)

Apple is not here. This is a user to user forum.


We don't know which fixes you "googled", so in order to try to help we need to know more - you did not even say which adapter you used to connect your mac to the display.


There have been issues with connecting to displays, but they are not all the same. In some cases, it is related to docks that rely on "displaylink" software to work, in others it is not - as when connected directly via HDMI. The latter are the most puzzling.


It makes it harder yet because while certainly some people have this problem, most people don't. I have used my 2014 MBP with over a dozen different displays, with connections using direct HDMI, miniDP->HDMI, miniDP->VGA, as well as direct Thunderbolt (which I am using as I write this with an older iMac in target display mode). All of them have worked.
