First Issue:​

Past few weeks I've noticed this strange thing where if I stand up in somewhat in the same area, my monitor would just go black for a split second and then come back, I can repeat this, maybe 60% of the time by trying to sit and stand up, I caught it on video too.

I re-seated every single cable I could imagine, no success.


While the monitor is somewhat distracting when I stand up (which is not an issue as long as I sit) the TV is driving me insane.

PC Specs:
13700K
RTX 3080
6400 2x16GB RAM

PG279Q Monitor

Few Months Ago I also had problems with my TV doing it by itself, sometimes every few seconds, sometimes every few hours on it's own, where I ended up buying an Active HDMI Cable for $70...

Secondary Issue:​

TV Disconnects for about a second on it's own, very random and I cannot reproduce it, sometimes it's multiple times a minute, sometimes multiple times an hour.

TCL C735 55' QLED


I am so annoyed by the second issue that I'd genuinely paypal anyone $50 or Buy a Steam Game rather me having to buy yet another Active HDMI cable that are $50+ if this issue gets resolved. Maybe it's linked to the first issue, IDK!
HDMI Cable used, may not be related at all:

power cable replaced as well?

power cord is tightly connected to the monitor / TV?

different power outlet checked?

check the windows event log for errors/warnings while the monitor blacks out.

does the status LED light of the monitor/TV vanish as well?

edit:
unplug and replug the GPU

Hey, thanks for the reply!
I replaced the power outlet just for the LOL's to see if maybe something would change, and no luck.
But I didn't expect it to change because I am about a meter away from the cables and I am not even vibrating the place enough for it to happen, yet it does. I am shaking the monitor, the desk, nothing, I stand up and BOOM there it is.
I don't know how to check for error's but I doubt there will be any, I'd love to know how(but might be a dead end)
the LED status is white and stays on the whole time.

This doesn't really help, but the absurdity of this situation brings me back to when Mario 64 speedrunners found out you could skip the clock level by having a sun particle hit your console's memory chip in the exact spot. That's the kind of voodoo magic I'm thinking when I hear "monitor dies when I sit up". Somebody's gonna say something insane like "the chakras from your body channel into the monitor and seduce it into turning off" and end up being right.

What if there's some loose electrical connection underneath the floor your chair sits on? This sounds dumb but I'm grasping at straws right now.

Anyway sorry about all this, I'm sure it's driving you nuts. Hope you get it figured out.
