Mac Studio wont connect to monitor after sleep

I bought a new widescreen monitor for my Mac Studio (Samsung 34" UHD). When the Mac Studio wakes up from sleep, it won't connect to the external monitor without the HDMI cable being unplugged and replugged; the monitor says "No Input" on the selected HDMI port. Moreover, when the Mac does connect, it will often show a wrong, distorted resolution, and Display settings in System Settings offer the wrong resolutions with no alternative.

These new Silicon Mac's do not do well using the display manufactures cheap long HDMI cables.


Toss the Samsung supplied HDMI cable aside and get a short high speed HDMI 8K cable.

Or even better yet, get a short high speed USB-C to HDMI 8K cable.
