Arzopa monitor stays black even though Mac M1 recognizes it as a display.

Hi everyone,

I work daily with my MacBook M1 Pro connected to an external HP monitor through HDMI with no issues.

However, when I try to connect it to my Arzopa A1 Gamut monitor, the Mac recognizes the external monitor but the Arzopa's screen stays black. I managed to have it turn on once, but now I can't get it to work anymore.

I connect the Arzopa both with mini-HDMI to HDMI and with USB-C to USB-C. If I don't also use the HMDI cable, the Mac doesn't recognize the monitor.

I've tried all 3 USB-C ports and it makes no difference.

I'm using the original mini-HDMI that came with the Arzopa. Not sure if I'm using the original USB-C to USB-C.

I have to admit that the last time I properly used the Arzopa was three years ago. It then worked perfectly fine with my old Sony VAIO.

I have gone through a lot of threads reporting issues with connecting Arzopas to Macs but haven't found a solution that works for my issue yet.

Would love some help.

Thanks!
