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

I’m encountering an intermittent issue with my Samsung G9 57-inch monitor when paired with my Mac Mini M4 using an HDMI 2.1 cable.


When my Mac Mini goes to sleep for an extended period (usually 3-4 hours or more) and I wake it up, the screen occasionally appears stretched. This doesn’t happen every time but seems to occur more frequently after a longer sleep duration. Other than this, the HDMI 2.1 cable works perfectly fine in all other scenarios.


Here are some details about my setup:


Monitor: Samsung G9 57-inch (latest firmware)

Computer: Mac Mini M4 Pro

Connection: HDMI 2.1


Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a fix? Could it be related to macOS settings, monitor settings, or possibly a handshake issue with HDMI after long sleep periods? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Mac mini, macOS 15.1
