Reply to Can no longer detect 2nd display in MacOS Monterey
MacBook Air (M1, 2020) Running 12.4 Will not connect to LG 38**95C-W. I suspect that there is something wrong with the Mac USB type C ports. This display works with a Ipad pro and same cables (its the only other device i have to test with) Here is a recap of my experience with the M1 Air and USB devices quickly. I Love the idea of having only one cable, so I make sure that a monitor would be able to use USB C. The first monitor I bought was a gaming monitor, and the monitor at first worked but then would not output sound. I reached out to Apple support and got the runaround - this was a less well-known brand, so I returned it. ** Major Issue with my customer support case here** My computer was brand new at this point also I Bought an LG 34 in a monitor for a home office worked great - I bought a second for a remote Office again worked great, with no problems. I Moved and left my old monitor at my old place for when I was there. I upgraded to the 38 In Curved- again, no issues for about six months, occasionally issues waking up the computer but nothing that I was concerned with. and then finally, No output. The monitor is detected when you plug in for a few seconds, but nothing shows up, and then the monitor displays no signal. Also, the top (closer to the monitor) thunderbolt will not even have a few seconds of recognition. ** The Thing that frustrates me is that now I am out of apple care warranty and suddenly having USB C issues again as I had with the very first monitor. And when talking to Apple support at that time, I was very adamant that I wanted to ensure nothing was wrong with the USB C port on my computer(I was coming off a couple of incredibly frustrating apple care situations, so I was overly cautious). They assured me it must have been the monitor, and they were kind of insinuating that not all companies make the best hardware, and I should not buy cheap products. Since it was a less well-known brand, I took their word at the time ( it was like scepter of something I can not remember - which worked great with a windows USB-C connection). Now I am out of warranty, and it is looking like I am not the only one with this issue. Apple support has been worthless once again - and it looks like I was probably correct way back when I first got the machine that something was wrong or at least "buggy" with their thunderbolt ports, but apple did not care then, and they don't seem to care now. O man, I miss the old days when you could walk into an apple store and be treated like a human RIP
