Hello,
I have been troubleshooting an issue I have been experiencing all day and think I have a hypothesis of what might be going on.
Long story short, I have a MacBook Pro M3 Pro and am trying to connect two external 4k monitors. But no matter what I do, I am unable to connect both of them at the same time. They would interchangeably, but when they are both connected only one seems to work. After a lot of research I think I might be running into an issue where my Mac sees them as the same monitor, therefore only displaying to one of them.
To test this hypothesis I changed the name of the first monitor in BetterDisplay to something unique. I then unplugged that monitor and plugged in the other one and what do you know it shows the exact same name as what I just changed the other one to and has all of the same custom settings.
Is there a way to make it so these two displays are unique and the Mac sees them as unique?
