Hello, Jacob Duus.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


To help narrow things down, does this occur when using certain apps? If possible, do you have another monitor to test?


You should also see if the same thing occurs in safe mode and a test user account:


How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support


Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac - Apple Support


Additionally, make sure you're using the correct cable and if possible try switching out that cable: Set up and use Apple Studio Display - Apple Support


"Check compatibility

Studio Display requires a Mac with a Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 port running macOS 12.3 or later, or an iPad Pro or iPad Air with a USB-C port running iPadOS 15.4 or later."


How are you connecting the display to power? For example, are you using a UPS, Wall outlet or surge protector? Try another power source if possible.


Best regards.
