Mac no longer detects external display via Thunderbolt/HDMI adapters

I used to have an external monitor via Thunderbolt HDMI adapter, but I reinstalled the OS and now it won't recognize an external monitor at all. Tried troubleshooting and Apple article on external monitors, nothing. Help!

Hi RogMarq,


What external display are you trying to use? 


Have you tried reading this article, Get help with video issues on external displays connected to your Mac - Apple Support?


Also, try resetting:


Cheers,
