OK this is driving me mad. I am using my Mac Mini M4 with a M7 Samsung 4K monitor. The very first C-C cable that i use to connect them together works perfectly but I felt it was a bit short at 0.5 meters. BTW this is the description of this cable on the shopee page that I bought it from - USB C to USB C Cable 100W USB 3.2 Type C Gen2 20Gbps Data Transfer Cable PD Fast Charging 4K Video Monitor Thunderbolt 3.

Since it was a bit too short I decided to buy a longer cable. This are the specs -  20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C to Type C Cable PD 100W Video 8K@60Hz. However when I try to connect it, there is no signal. So my conclusion is that it is not comaptible.

I bought a 3rd cable - USB4 Cable with 240W Fast Charging 1m 8K Monitor 40Gbps Compatible with USB 4 Thunderbolt 4 Type C. It does not work! No signal!

What specs should I be looking for in the cable? Is it really so difficult to find a compatible cable?? Please help.

You will need the USB3/4 cables that supports DisplayPort (Alt Mode); This is probably gonna be a hit or miss.
Not all cables with the advertised speed supports DisplayPort (Alt Mode)

You will probably have better luck getting Thunderbolt 3/4 cables (not TB3/4 compatible) or USB-C to DisplayPort/HDMI cables.

hi, bro, do you know the way to change/fix the screen resolution to say FHD?  My VMware session now is always set at 1024 x 768.  I want to set it to at least 1920x1080.  If I stretch the windows, it will just resize but no change in resolution.  Windows remote desktop got a place to fix the remote session at specify resolution.  Can't find the same for this VMware.

Thanks in advance.  notworthy.gif

If my memory serves me right; You will need to install VMware Tools, that should allow you to select custom resolutions as well as support for window resizing
