Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you

HDMI 2 is unsupported.

Thanks for the answer,, i'll update my profile
The HP24xw has two hdmi inputs,,, i guess this monitor is trying to work in hdmi 2.0
so, what is the solution?
buy hdmi 1.4 cable?

I don't know as I do not use any HDMI 2 monitors.
Some monitors allow you to switch modes in the menu.
I think that if the monitor is in HDMI 2 mode then changing the cable to 1.4 may not work - YMMV.

I am having a similar problem. My computer boots black screen unless I use a specific monitor, an Acer P235H. Here's the weird part. It won't work on an older, lower resolution monitor (an Acer X191W) using HDMI-to-DVI (it lacks HDMI plugs).

It boots black on my new Philips Momentum 326M using DisplayPort too. I can only see during boot when I use the Acer P235H, which is a problem because I can only see for about 3 seconds each time I cycle the power switch (it's going bad).

So whatever is going on in my case, it only wants to show me my boot on a specific monitor. Please help me figure this out before that monitor totally dies.

Try this. Boot with the one monitor, delete from your home folder ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver*.plist (maybe several files with different system IDs). Reboot then plug in the other display.

I did that. And I also thought the purpose of these forums were to jump into conversations focusing on similar problems. That's what other mods have told me.

You do not even have similar hardware to the OP.

Post link to that conversation.
