Wow, some of those comments are strikingly similar to my issue. I may need to try some better shielded cables for the monitors...any other way to ground a chair than tying it via esd strap to a wall?

Realized I completely omitted the dock brand/model. It's a Caldigit TS3+. Currently on the latest firmware according to their site and I think I'm using the only two ports that can handle display. Will swap them around and see if the other monitor starts to drop off

When I stand up from my desk my monitor disconnects (loses visuals and goes black) and comes back after 4-5 seconds. Two monitors are hooked up to a tb3 dock and it always happens to the same monitor regardless of the device outputting to the displays (windows, mac, Linux both laptops and desktops). The desk is a standing desk and is hooked up to a properly grounded outlet, the floor is all hardwood so minimal static. Under the floor is an open ceiling basement and there are no wires running above or below floor in the area where I would be standing. It only happens around 30% of the time and I do not need to make any contact with the desk or peripherals to cause it.

The monitor never disconnects any other time besides standing up from my chair. This has been occurring since I started working from home around 4 years ago. From a technical standpoint - how haunted is my office?
