Mac mini monitor slow to wake up from sleep

[Jacobi]

I have my Mac mini connected to a Dell U2415 using a Cable Matters USB C - Displayport cable I got on Amazon. When I press the space bar to wake up my Mac mini from sleep, it takes 10-12 seconds before the display actually turns on. If I connect to the same monitor using HDMI, it wakes up almost instantly. However, I prefer not to use HDMI because my Mac mini thinks the monitor is a TV and doesn't use the correct color mode.

Any thoughts on what might be going on? For what it's worth, I tried a second brand of USBC-DP cable (uni accessories, also from Amazon) and the same problem occurred.

"If I connect to the same monitor using HDMI, it wakes up almost instantly. However, I prefer not to use HDMI because my Mac mini thinks the monitor is a TV and doesn't use the correct color mode."

There's "a fix" for that.
Here it is:
================================
Download the file "patch-edid.rb" from here:
http://embdev.net/topic/284710#3027030
(download link at post in above URL)
(I've attempted to attach it below)

Put the "patch-edid.rb" file into the downloads folder.

Launch terminal

Type : cd ~/Downloads

Type : ruby patch-edid.rb

Normally, a new folder appear on the Downloads folder with a name similar to (but may not be exactly the same) "DisplayVendorID-5a63"

Move this folder to
/System/Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/Overrides
(the system will ask for the password)

Reboot

I have the same problems, it takes a long time to wake my Dell U2518D connected via HDMI.

Does anyone have a solution for that?

I have the same monitor and when my computer goes to sleep, the only way to wake up the monitor is to turn off the mini. I'm very disappointed with Mac mini. I have also tried several different cables but none of them worked. Dell doesn't provide any drivers for Mac OS, at least for U2415.

I actually have the same problem on my UF5K. Takes 5-10 to wake up from sleep on my Mac Mini while it wakes up instant when connected to my Macbook Pro
