MacBook Air M2 not detecting external monitor via USB-C dock


  • Hi everyone,

    I'm having an issue with my MacBook Air M2 and an external monitor.

    Setup:

    • MacBook Air M2
    • Sabrent USB-C Dock
    • Predator XB253Q monitor (HDMI via dock)

    The monitor isn't detected consistently. I usually have to unplug and reconnect the USB-C cable 3–5 times before it works.

    What's strange is that the exact same dock, cable, and monitor work perfectly with my MacBook Pro M3—it detects the display instantly.

    I've already updated macOS and tried different connection orders, but the issue remains.

    Has anyone experienced something similar with the M2 Air? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
