I was using a cheap Amazon cable to connect my macbook pro to an external monitor, but I was getting an issue where the screen would go black and I'd have to unplug then plug back into my macbook. I got a new cable today and plugged it in and it's not working properly. Firstly, on the touchbar, I get a 'display connected' message and it gives me the option to make the other monitor a mirror or extended desktop. With the old cable I didn't get this. Secondly, I'm getting weird lines - they don't show up in a screenshot, only when I take a pic of the external monitor. The main laptop screen is fine. Any ideas? Thank you
