Ventura update has killed External display use. no HDMI connectivity

I've updated to OS Ventura last week now my Mac is completely useless as it can't see my Dell Monitor so I can't connect via HDMI to either that or to the TV. I rely on the larger screen for work and now can't use my desktop setup

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.2

ventura 13.5.1 won't detect external display Since updating to Ventura, I can no longer connect to my television monitor using my USB C adapter connected to my HDMI cable. When I click on Displays>Detect Displays, my computer does not detect anything other than my Built In Display. I have restarted and turned everything on and off. I have tried changing screen resolutions. Is it because my Panasonic HD television is too old? It has worked with every other Mac software version. I am using Ventura 13.5.1.

External Display Issues — Ventura 13.4.1 Update M1 Mac Mini, about six months old, with two 27" HP external displays running just fine until updating to Ventura 13.4.1. Either one will still work in isolation via HDMI. But neither will show anything via either USBC port. Have tested with several cables and also switching power supplies. Sometimes, evidence of the other monitor will constantly flash up in Displays settings, only for a second at a time, with nothing visible on the actual screen. Other times, connecting USBC sends both screens black, which will remain that way until only HDMI is connected again. Literally nothing changed with configuration except for updating from an earlier version of Ventura (suspect 13.0.1 but uncertain) to 13.4.1. Have spent a long time on this and am now very frustrated and out of ideas. Could anybody please help with the solution...?

macOS Ventura no longer detects external monitors?! For years I've used an Anker USB-C to HDMI adapter to connect my iMac Pro to an external monitor or a projector. This no longer works in Ventura. I even bought a new 8K USB-C to HDMI cable and it still doesn't work. System Settings > Displays shows only crappy AirPort connections in the dropdown menu. No HDMI options ever appear, and I've tried three viable displays. And no, unhiding the Detect Displays button does nothing. Restarts don't help either. What is going on? Was this a showstopper bug that still hasn't been fixed in 13.2.1?
