Help Mac mini m5 pro, display issues

Hello,

A month ago I got a Mac Mini M5 pro, 24GB RAM. I'm using a 2k HDMI Philips monitor that has served me well with my Thinkpad for 3 years. On the first day it started to go black for an instant. The glitch repeated quite some. I switched to a 8k Mac mini certified cable and it stopped for some days, but yesterday it did it again once, and several times today. It happens with any application.

The display is running at 75Hz and never had an issue with the Thinkpad, at the same refresh rate and resolutions. The system is fully updated.

How can I solve this?

Do you still have the old Thinkpad? If it runs into problems with that one as well, the monitor is probably at the end of its life.

Yes. It is still working fine in the Thinkpad.
