Mac studio and monitor problem

Hey just bought a Mac studio m1 and connected it via HDMI to my (viotek 31.5 curved monitor) . Monitor cuts out black for a few seconds sometimes up to one minute before turning on again. My previous Mac mini works fine with it. What could be causing this problem? I’ve trouble shot different hdmi cables and still got same issue.

Mac Studio, macOS 12.3

HDMI cables you want for HDMI-only Monitors (higher resolutions than 720p TV sets) are marked as Certified with an anti-counterfeiting tag and are labeled:


"Premium High Speed HDMI cable" or that + "with Ethernet" --OR--

"Ultra High Speed HDMI cable" or that + "48G"


Cables with No Certification tags are good for your standard 720p TV set, and not much more.


The cables they throw into the box at the last minute are often "lowest bidder" cables. They only need to be good enough to keep you from returning the display.
