External display on M1/M2 in sleep mode sometimes powers on and off

Since I bought a Macbook Air M1 and now the M2, I always used connected to an LG 49WL95C external monitor. The problem I observe is that the external display powers on and then off after sometimes when the Macbook is in sleep mode. This is very annoying.

Any solutions?

MacOS Ventura - External Monitor disconnect I just updated to macOs Ventura, and my external monitor ( Samsung C43J890) Keeps disconnecting every couple of minutes. It is currently connected via USB-C. Was working fine prior to updating to Ventura, so my assumption is that it is related to the OS updated. Mac Book Pro M1Max.

Cannot toggle "Prevent automatic sleeping on power adapter when the display is off" Off There seems to be a bug in MacOS Ventura. I wanted to download something large overnight, so I toggled on "Prevent automatic sleeping on power adapter when the display is off" which can be found by going to System Settings > Display > Advanced. Now the reason is over, I want to turn it off, however this is not possible. It is like there is an elastic mechanism that keeps the toggle on no matter what I try. Simply pressing on the left part of the toggle doesn't work, dragging the toggle to the off section automatically returns to on immediately. Any help?

Thunderbolt Display black after update from Monterey to Ventura Mac Mini M1 After updating my Mac Mini M1 from Monterey to Ventura my Thunderbolt screen remains black. The M1 is working flawlessly over HDMI, the same for the Thunderbolt Display attached to a 2014 Mini with Monterey which I'm using right now.
