Monitor turns off for few seconds when opening certain apps
**bleep** of now those apps include Apple Music, tidal, Amazon prime,
the monitor turns off for a few seconds then turns back on, it’ll work fine and then when I close it it does it again. Turns off for a few seconds then it’s fine, this is very very annoying and definitely not normal
ive tried ddu install, ive tried capping fps in the apps and still nothing, all input is welcome

This is a classic and frustrating issue that's almost always related to the graphics driver and monitor renegotiating the display mode or signal protocol. The fact that it happens when opening and closing specific media-rich applications is a huge clue.
