What make and model are the 27" displays..?


It sounds like you have a low grade USB-C to DisplayPort cable and need to upgrade that cable

or... switch and use a USB-C to HDMI adapter/cable connection out to that display.


I would test one of the following options out to that display.

a short 1m high speed USB-C to DisplayPort cable.

a USB-C to HDMI adapter and short HDMI cable.

a short 1m high speed USB-C to HDMI cable.
