I recently bought a Mac studio and connected it via HDMI to a Samsung Monitor. The monitor cuts out black for a few seconds every 20 to 30 seconds. I’ve trouble shot different hdmi cables. Any ideas?
Thank you.
Mac Studio, macOS 12.5
What model is the Samsung monitor?
If a short Premium Certified HDMI cable as Grant suggest's doesn't fix the black-out issue.
Then perhaps the Samsung has another input like USB-C, DisplayPort or DVI that could be used instead of HDMI.
that is likely a cable issue.
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.
Samsung LS32A700NWNXZA 32" 16:9 4K VA Monitor. I haven't tried the certified cable but will.
It looks like you have two options with that display.
1) a premium certified HDMI cable.
2) a USB-C to DisplayPort cable.
