This happens to me every day but only when my headphones are in. It’s a pretty incredible journey for the static charge:
Chair -> Pants -> Legs -> Ears -> Earbuds -> 3.5mm extension cable -> 3.5mm to RCA Adapter -> Audio Mixer -> Macbook Audio Input -> Macbook Mobo -> HDMI Out -> Monitor
I've never doubted the cause, though. The monitor going black is always timed with a jolt of pain in my ears.
I'm using a #HermanMiller Embody and have no plans to ground the chair lol.
