Flickering on Samsung Monitor with Apple Airbook M1

I have a Samsung external monitor that I have connected via an HDMI cable from the monitor to a doc that is connected to the MacBook. Definitely noticing a flicker and at some points I see diagonal lines across the whole display. Definitely seeing some weird issues. Wondering if there are specific HDMI specs that I need to support with the HDMI cable.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.0

Using Samsung S27A80 external monitor(s) with 2019 MacBook Pro I have two Samsung S27A80*U monitors. I have attached them to my 2019 16" MacBook Pro using USB-C 3.1 cables. When I have two monitors attached, the MacBook frequently freezes, flashes vertical lines on the main monitor, then crashes back to the login screen. If I detach one monitor, then it stops crashing, but frequently freezes. It becomes pretty much unusable. Once I have all external monitors detached, the computer behaves normally. Has anyone else had experience with this issue? Is there something I'm doing wrong? Should I upgrade the cables (these are the USB-C cables that came with the monitors)? Am I SOL with these particular monitors? They're listed as Mac compatible. Thanks.

MacOS Ventura: YouTube or Video shifting 90 degrees on external monitor with multiple setups I have a 3 monitor setup, One main (38inc monitor), and two extended vertical (90degrees) displays. When I watch a video on the main display, like Youtube but not limited to Youtube, the video automatically shifts to 90 degrees unless I move my mouse. If stop moving the mouse, the video shifts 90 degrees. This only happens to the video, not the main page or any website. I upgraded to MacOS Ventura, and previous versions ran fine with this setup. I am using a M1Max Macbook pro. Has anybody come across this bug? How can I fix this as it is very annoying!
