Hey there !
I've a 2018 MBTP 15'' and want to connect it to a Dell AW3418DW via USB-C to display port.
That works in general. But the display constantly goes dark - mainly when the air conditioning turns on, or when I get up from my chair. It's a spring-loaded Ikea Markus chair and these chairs develop a magnetic field that get's somehow discharged when getting up from it or sitting down again.
HDMI connection is not affected, but the Dell only has HDMI 1.4 so I would only get 34440x1440 with 50 Hz instead of 60 or 120. I'd be ok with 60 Hz, but 50 is really sluggish.
The monitor is not the problem, all other displays have the same issue when connected via USB-C to display port. I hooked up a friends MacBook and it had the same problem.
I then tried out different cables, one that was pretty expensive and said to have a very good shielding. Same issue. I even bought ferrite cores and put 10 (!) of them on the cable to mitigate the issue. Same result.
Is anyone here experiencing the same issues? This is really driving me mad.
