My external monitor flickers when I connect it to my MacBook Pro. I have tested both its USB-C input and DisplayPort input.
Is this a known issue? Is there a definitive fix available for it?
Thanks.

Thanks. Resetting the NVRAM and SMC resolved the problem.
I have seen this tip on various websites, but I was curious:
The flickering has started occurring again. Oddly it happens when I connect my 2019 MacBook Pro to my external display but it doesn't happen when I connect my M1 MacBook Air.
I can ask my employer to send me a replacement. Hopefully the next unit will work well.
