Video turns black after some time on external display

Hi,

I am using safari to watch video from a streaming website. Video turns black after maybe 1-2min on external display. Everything else still shows up, even the small playback when I scroll on the timeline shows what the video should look like.

Once I move back the page on the Mac screen, video shows again fine.

It's extremely frustrating.

Display is a quite old SAMSUNG TV, I had to set manually resolution (720p) in monitor settings, but it works fine in all other use cases.

Any clue?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.2

Noite: I had zero issues previously with my old MacBook Air running El Capitan. No idea if that's the root cause, but I have to say, I am having many display issues since I moved to newer Mac on MacOS 11 and now 12. Very disappointing for me
