HP E233 Monitor
macOS 12.0 Monterey

Product: HP E233 Monitor

Operation System: MacOS 12.6 Monterey

 

I just got a new external monitor and for some reason I can’t make it work with either of my 16” M1 Pro or 16” M1 Max MacBook Pros. 

Luckily I have 3 external monitors I could test on. HP E231, E232 and E233. Also one other 2018 15” MBP besides the two already mentioned.

Both HP E231 and HP E232 work perfectly fine with all 3 Macbooks via HDMI cable direct or with dongle, DisplayPort to USB-C or DisplayPort to HDMI (direct for M1 mac and via dongle for 2018 mac)

 

The monitor I want to use, HP E233 works fine using any connection type with 2018 15” MBP but doesn’t work with (the setup I have on my desk) DisplayPort to USB-C or DisplayPort to HDMI. I get “Input signal not found” on the monitor even if it appears under System Preferences -> Displays. I also managed to make the connection work between HP E233 and M1 Max MBP using DisplayPort to HDMI connected via dongle.

 

Seems the issue is related to using the DisplayPort when connection to an M1 Mac. Similar with: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Community-Feedback-Suggestions/Display-Detected-on-my-MacBook-Pro-M1-P...
