Beta 8 External Monitor issue

I created a bootable usb drive from beta 6 and installed it from there.So when I download (using Chrome... when I used Safari I had the same issue with the file from Mr Macintosh acting weird) I get the smaller InstallAssistant.pkg. I then run it and I get an updated Install macOS Monterey.app. When I run that, it just reinstalls Beta 8.
Is there a different step you did? Is there something I'm missing that would prevent it from installing Beta 6? It's confused the heck out of me.
Granted, I'm hopeful for a Beta 9 that fixes it today
as an aside, my MBP 2019 15" i9 on Monterey beta 8 w/ a Dell 2520 (via USB-C) display worked fine... until this morning. Completely stopped working, now not detected, black screen.
Semi-solution was to use a USB-C hub w/ HDMI. it's ugly, but functional.
I reset the SMC yesterday for an unrelated issue, and unsure if this bricked it.
Installing beta 9 (thank goodness)
============
EDIT - this is very unusual. I had to power cycle (that is, remove + replace power) my displays. I have two Dell UltraSharp 25" U2520D which have been flawless. I nearly went nuts this morning.
After power cycle? No problem.

I have a MacBook Pro 20156 Touch Bar with two DP 2560x1440 via built in TB ports and one HDMI 2560 x 1440 working via a USB C hub.
Installed Beta 9, external monitor back normal
But each time I closed the lid of my MBP, the external screen went out
Went to System Preferences ==> Battery ==> Power Adapter ==> Prevent your mac from automatically sleeping when the display is off (Still the external screen went off if i closed the lid)
Anyone have same issue?

beta 9 installed on both my Macs, looking good so far, external monitor included.
edit, later, found a one time problem that I couldn't replicate. Switching the ext display's input source from Display Port (MacBook) to HDMI (Mac mini) caused the MacBook internal display to go black. It happened once, worked fine after a reboot and a few more switches between sources.

Thanks brother. Look like I need 2 TB display, else will not work, I having 2 HDMI and 1 TB display only. Maybe I need to get the DisplayLink hub then?
Beta 9 has resolved the issue for me. I am using a BenQ monitor connected via a third-party USB-C/HDMI dongle.
i also think the same. but yet , the reason i do some video documentation and still not use the usb hub c to the external and using apple tv for extension. The only reason i into the beta was Xcode 13 .
I will wait for official release.
Yep, me! I uploaded and installed it this morning as soon as it was available. It fixed the only two issues I had with Beta 9. Working fine for me👍

I have twin display port 27" 2009 screens and I have now lost brightness control even though they both work fine except this.

This issue cropped up with my M1 Mac mini. With the beta 8 installed it only recognizes (1) of my monitors.
I have tried a clean install, different cable connections, and begging.
I am new to the OS ecosystem and liked Beta 7 very much.
Fingers crossed for the Beta 9 release.

I have an M1 Mini and my second (USB-C) monitor stopped working in Ventura Public Beta 7 - still waiting for a future update to start using it again
That's odd . . . I had that problem with MacOS 12 beta something: so, shutt the computer down, disconnected the power cable, counted to 20 failry slowly, plugged the power cable in and started the thing up again: and, oddly enough (and don't ask me why because I don't know) everything magically (and, let's face it, it's magic) sorted itself out.
