Hi,

I'm using the configuration given in the title of this thread and there are some serious signal integrity issues both from the VGA and HDMI outputs from the Thunderbolt 3 dock.

The BenQ monitor constantly blacks out, then a few moments later, returns. Sometimes, if I catch it just right, I can get the monitor to behave for an hour or so. This is very rare and short lived; as soon as I disturb anything in the chain (turn off monitor, put MBA to sleep), the issue returns with full force.

I found it unusual that this issue persists across VGA and HDMI outputs. Even more so because I tried a friend's monitor (HDMI) and it seemed to work fine.

Any ideas?
 
ever find a resolution for this? my macbook m1 won't even recognise the dock.
