2 Displays + Mac Mini = Flickering Display?

Hello,

I purchased a brand new Mac mini, I have an HDMI adapter, for my second display and two HP displays. When I finally plug both displays into the mini one directly through HDMI and the other via adapter, the screen begins to flicker.

Any suggestions?

HDMI stopped working on a Mac mini dual screens Hey guys, I have a Mac mini with two screens. One is with the HDMI port and the other one is with a HDMI/USB-C adaptor. It worked for a few weeks with dual screens and suddenly, the HDMI port stopped working. I have changed the cable, tested every possibilities around and yes the monitor connected with the HDMI port is working fine with the HDMI/USB-C adaptor as well. I've been searching over the net and couldn't find answers to fix it. Is there anyone out here with a solution? If the HDMI port is dead, can I buy an other HDMI/USB-C adaptor to connect the 2nd screen? Thanks! Merci! Dan

M1 Mini and flickering screen I have a M1 Mac Mini. I have my main screen attached to the HDMI port. (No problems) My second screen connected to the USB-C port, flickers out every 2minutes for about a second and then returns. I have changed cable and connectors. Monitor is a HDMI connection. Using the Apple AV adapter to covert USB-C to HDMI. Any ideas. It is very annoying.

MacBook Pro M2 Max external display flickering I just got a MacBook Pro with an Apple M2 Max chip running macOS 13.2.1 (22D68). Sometimes, depending on the content of the screen (a given webpage, PowerPoint welcome screen), the external monitor shows some vertical grey lines, either statically or flashing (see the latter on the following video). https://youtu.be/oeY1EGmOP7U It's hard for me to be able to consistently reproduce this bug. Furthermore, if I change the display profile, the flickering goes away only to come back when different content is shown on the screen. The external monitor specs are: LG HDR 4K: Resolution: 3840x2160 (2160p/4K UHD 1 - Ultra High Definition) UI Looks like: 3840 x 2160 @ 60.00Hz The device is connected with an HDMI cable directly pugged in the laptop port.
