I've tried two different (known-good) HDMI cables and only have the one DisplayPort cable (which works fine on the i9 MBP and even on my 13" MacBook Air)... it seems to be something funky with the mini only.
At least with the DisplayPort cable, the dropouts don't happen, it's just annoying to have to manually turn off my monitor every time I walk away lest it go into the on/off/on/off cycle while the Mac is asleep.
I did order a CableMatters USB-C to DisplayPort cable today to see if maybe going direct from the USB4->monitor will work better than TB3->CalDigit->DisplayPort->monitor.

- bhouston 5y agoInteresting. I use a USB-C to DisplayPort cable. I've never run into a bad HDMI cable honestly. But I have run into bad DisplayPort cables a few times. I am unsure why that is.
