I’ve plugged a series of Airs and one Pro into the same 24” Dell monitor for close to a decade now. It’s been via DisplayPort, DVI, and HDMI. Right now it’s via HDMI through a USBC breakout box.
Every once in a while it will be a little flickery, or offset weirdly. This always indicates that I didn’t plug the cable in correctly when I put the laptop on the desk. Re-seating it always fixes it.
I use the laptop closed. Don’t like multiple displays.
Life is not perfect for me, the driver for the Wacom tablet on my desk never recognizes it when I wake up the computer, so I have to unplug and reconnect the tablet. Which is annoying given that I don’t have a mouse/touchpad/etc available on the desk. (I’m an artist, I use the tablet for pretty much everything.)
Dunno what you’re doing. I assume you’ve checked obvious things like connecting it with a guest account. And maybe trying the computer on other displays outside your home?
Good luck finding a cause, this sounds super annoying.
- hollerith 4y agoWhat is the horizontal resolution on this 24" Dell monitor?
- egypturnash 4y ago1920×1200.
- hollerith 4y agoThe person you are replying to refers to "high resolution monitors", which probably means a lot higher than 1920. (He also mentions "high refresh rate".)
