Hi,

I'm a Mac newbie trying to get my Mac 4 Mini Pro configured and working. I have two BenQ REW2790U 27 inch 4K monitors connected to the Mac Mini. The first uses a HDMI connection, the 2nd a USB-C connector.

When I restart/reactivate the mac mini, the HDMI display comes awake. However, the 2nd monitor does not. I have to press the power button to get it to display. I bought two high end expensive cables for the mac mini to monitor connections.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

I found the fix. Use the monitors own system menu to enable recognition of awakening
