Macbook Air 2018 using Samsung Odyssey G9 USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4

I am able to display 5120 x 1440 to the 49 inch monitor. The only problem is the signal cuts out every few random seconds. I am not sure if it is the cable, or if the USB-C ports on the side of my Macbook are on the fritz.....You can see the onboard graphics card recognises the display. I am running Big Sur 11.6. Any help is much appreciated.

Mac Pro 2019 - LG Display not working with DisplayPort My 27" LG 4k display works fine on old 2013 Mac Pro using DisplayPort but doesn't on new Mac Pro 2019. Just shoes black screen. It does work on HDMI, but not what I'm wanting. Using a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adaptor. Any ideas?

Problems with external display I recently bought a new MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) and have since had issues with my external display. The display keeps disconnecting randomly and mostly I end up reconnecting the cable frequently. I have noticed that often the connection gets lost when I plug something into one of the other USB-C ports on my MacBook and sometimes just randomly. Is this a problem related to the display or my MacBook? I have tried to use both USB-C to HDMI and USB-C to DisplayPort. Also I have tried resetting NVRAM on my MacBook and the problem remained. I looked for a driver from HP's website but it doesn't exist for Mac. Have any of you had similar issues with an external display? Is there any solution?

New cable fixed it. The cable I used previously was only rated to 4K. 8K cable from CableMatters did the trick.
