I have a 2018 MacBook 15inch using two hdmi to usb-c connectors.

Only one display ever shows an image, the other was black. What can I do?

(I found the solution myself and tried to reply to this thread - MacBook Pro detects external monitor but shows black screen. Unfortunately I don't have reputation to do so, so see my own answer below.)

If you are having troubles with a black display it could be that your Mac has onboard graphics and a dedicated graphics card.

The full issue I had was a 2018 MacBook 15inch using two hdmi to usb-c connectors, only one display would ever have an image, the other was black.

As soon as I turned off Automatic Graphics switching (Apple Icon > System Preferences > Energy Saver > Tick Box for Automatic Graphics Switching) the problem immediately ceased.

Hope this may help some others with the same issue as me.

Edit: Ensure you do this for the relevant mode of use. You can change this setting for both using battery and being connected to power
