MacBook Air M1, 2020 having issues with external LG HDR WFHD monitor: keeps disconnecting

Hello there, My external monitor as described above, keeps disconnecting - really annoying. It is connected via an HDMI connected to a USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter. The system recognised the external LG monitor as soon as it was connected. What can I do? Thank you in advance.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.5

External display no longer working since software update MacBook Air (M1, 2020) Monterey Version 12.5 Completed the most recent system update and now am no longer able to use my Samsung external monitor. Since the update, the System Preferences no longer allows you to turn on and off the external monitor extended display settings, so I can tell the update involved this particular preference. Though my MacBook must be aware of the monitor (as it is opening windows on the extended display,) the display is not reading any signal through the HDMI port and cable.

Try and quit using adapters, use an HDMI to usb C cable instead to see if the issue is persisting
