Issue with Samsung G9 57-Inch Monitor and Mac Mini M4 Wake from Sleep

I reset my Mac mini and it looked like it was still checked. I unchecked it then restarted again and then it stayed unchecked. We will find out what happens tomorrow morning when I log on if it's stretched.

Screenshot for reference after the restart twice to insure it stayed:

I'm still having the issue. I want to note this isn't changing the resolution in the settings it just wakes up and everything is stretched. I will attach photo next time it happens. It seems to always happen after leaving the mac for more than 4 hours.

This is what I have, are you saying the 3ft version of this could solve my issue?

Logically, can you explain why just so I can educate myself?

When my Mac Mini goes to sleep for an extended period (usually 3-4 hours or more) and I wake it up, the screen appears stretched. This doesn’t happen every time but seems to occur more frequently after a longer sleep duration.

Let me get very specific. At 4PM when I'm done working I push the Touch ID button on the keyboard and I then at 8AM the next day I come back and I wiggle the mouse and when I do that it the login screen comes back up and everything has been stretched. The resolution is still 7680 x 2160 but it's like it has been stretched horizontally as it is forcing itself to a non-native resolution. Once I restart my Mac, it fixes it.

Also side note, I just switched to USB-C to Display port and when I came in at 8AM this morning it was not stretched however it switched resolution to "3840 x 1080 (Default)" which is way better because then I only have to change the resolution instead of restarting. I also noticed that this time... which I will check a 2nd time today that the monitor actually was turned off.

I'm not certain if locking my computer at 4PM is apart of the problem, but I suppose the only alternative is not to lock it when I'm done at the end of the day. Curious to see if anyone has any suggestions with the new information provided.

Okay, so switching to USBc to display has fixed my screen stretching issue. Now my current issue is my screen turns completely off after my Mac has been locked for more than 2-3 hours and doesn’t auto awake like it used to do with HDMI so now I have to pick the lesser of 2 evils I suppose.
