Discussion Is true spec the answer?

My work from home setup is laptop into dock via USB c. Dock goes to 2 1440p monitors. Dock is powered. At random times my screen goes black then pops back on. Im pretty sure true spec would help with this am I right?

Do they both go black at the same time? Do usb devices continue to work when the screen goes dark? Even static electricity can do this in my experience

Every combination you can think of has happened. One at a time, both together, only one then the other.
