Review on ASUS VA24EHE Monitor 1920X1080 D Sub 23.8", 75Hz, Tilt Adjustment, Blue Light Filter, Flicker-Free by Tune Stokes

Cannot support Macbook Air M1 2020 display in clamshell mode - No driver support for Macbook Air.

I bought this monitor for my WFH setup and had to go back because the signal on the monitor drops out every time you try to put your Macbook Air M1 2020 into clamshell mode, whether you're using VGA or HDMI. I consider myself a resourceful person and have tried absolutely everything, but the TLDR is that ASUS *doesn't* support Mac OSX with drivers or associated tech support, so be careful, your functionality is limited to "anything you look out for of the box get' restricted. . I tried absolutely everything myself to fix the problem, for example: I downloaded the 3p application (amphetamine) so that the computer never goes to sleep, watched YouTube videos, (2) called Apple technical support and (1) a visit to the Genius Bar and ASUS Technical Service. support call. In short, if you have a Macbook Air M1 2020, don't believe other reviewers or ads when they say it's Mac compatible. The basic functionality of an external monitor should allow it to be used in clamshell mode, but this one doesn't. ASUS is a big shame on you, be more open about what devices you support.
