Good one, Choetech, produced good picture and allows full powerdown no issues.
Resolution was noticed when looking at the "displays" setup - the external monitor could not be set above 1920x1080.
So I left it at Full HD and mirrored the LCD screen.
Oh, I understood the difference you experienced. What I meant is that I didn't see anything in the product descriptions that would account for that difference, so people could look for it when shopping for HDMI adapters.
Does xrandr show the external monitor?
Using the default Debian OS
Debian display settings correctly identify my monitor as AOC-27inch.
Yes, xrandr shows both monitors, with various resolutions up to 1920x1080 (max) on Int and Ext monitors.
No clue as to why one of the cables prevents powerdown.
While I was tinkering with Ayufan's MATE and LXDE distros on micro-SD (following the UBOOT update last night) I did notice that the next resolution up from 1920x1080 was available (2100x1440? from memory)
