Screen going black for a few seconds

71Datsun · 07-22-2025, 08:29 PM

Hi,

I have a brand new 14" MacBook Pro (Apple M4 Pro, 24 GB, Sequoia 15.5), which is hooked up to 2 HP monitors via a Belkin Universal USB-C Triple Display Dock. I find that if I'm using a particular monitor for something like a video chat, or I'm working on a large spreadsheet, it will turn black for a few seconds every now and again. Is anybody else experiencing this and is there a solution?

There are no loose connections, and it feels like it's power-related since it happens to be the monitor that I'm using more vigorously at that time.

Thanks
- L
