Hello - I am using a Blackmagic eGPU with my MacBook Air (lid closed) on an external 4 LG display. My mouse is connected to the Blackmagic eGPU USB dock and the keyboard is bluetooth. The macbook air is connected via a thunderbolt cable to the Blackmagic eGPU the eGPU is connected via HDMI cable to the LG monitor.

I am facing a couple of problems:
1. Once connecting the MacBook Air with a closed lid the monitor doesn't switch on (thunderbolt cable). I have to open the lid first, then it connects then I can close the lid again.
2. The display profile is only getting recognised when I manually going into system preferences -> Display -> Colour.

I didn't have this problems with my elgato USB C dock before.

Anyone knows what is going on?

Thanks
