[QUOTE="Wimpi82, post: 1624109, member: 338619"] Hi folks, May I ask for support due to my problem with Mac Mini 2014 connection to external monitor BenQ G2412HD. Connection MacMini Thunderbolt output through MiniDisplayport-Adapter, DVI Cable to DVI Input of monitor BenQ G2412HD. Trouble: :'(:'( After "waking up" the MacMini from energy saving mode my display just shows "snow". There is a difference between "no signal" and "snow", this tells me the MacMini is sending something, but the monitor is not able to work with (or whatever). It takes a lot of "tries" of switching on/off monitor or "hammering" around on my keyboard/Mouse. Additional Info: Everything works fine if Mac is started new. If I unplug the MiniDisplayport/DVI-adapter and switch to the second thunderbold (near to the usb connections), i have "snow" too. So the question is: What can I do? Preventing the Mac of going "to bed" is not the aim. I can't use HDMI because the BenQ 2412HD has troubles to interpret the signal correctly. ( i found this info in another forum during my research). Thx for your help, Michael [/QUOTE]
