Users report that on macOS Monterey 12.3, their external display do not output signal
The new macOS Monterey 12.3 external display issue is experienced by owners of Mac Mini, M1 MacBook Air, and 16-inch Intel- MacBook Pro. @ wrote on Apple Support that:
After updating my Mac Mini today to 12.3, my monitor now no longer displays an image via USB-C, just keeps saying on no signal on the monitor.
I have tried HDMI and same issue. The odd occasion it will display a picture but once I shutdown or restart the mac mini it does not display a picture. The mac is booting up. I have had to resort to connecting it to my old TV with HDMI connection.
This is so frustrating
I have tried resetting the SMC which had not appeared to work, also tried downgrading the displayport version from 1.4 to 1.2 (on the odd occasion I did get a picture) but that has not worked either.
Has anyone else having this issue? The monitor I use is a BenQ SW270C. This is really doing my head in and was wondering if anyone else has got a fix to this.
Same issue with dual BenQ PD3220U on a MBP16 (2019) over Thunderbolt-3.
Other affected users have shared the same experience after updating to macOS Monterey 12.3. For unplugging and then re-plugging after a few minutes worked temporarily and the issue emerged again the next morning.
Same problem after upgrading to 12.3. Was using a portable external display driven through the thunderbolt usb-c cable. Not keep on saying no signal!!! I really regret upgrading and this is how you break customer’s confidence in your product.
