I bought an IKEA chair, but the monitor is broken

(1)It’s one of IKEA’s bestsellers
(2)Office Chair MARKUS
(3)But from abroad, IKEA chairs
(4)a story about a strange experience
(5)When you buy a chair at IKEA, make sure it’s compatible with the monitor
(6)I’m not kidding. I’m gonna keep this thread going
(7)Over the past few weeks, my new monitor has been turning black sometimes for a few seconds
(8)I experienced a blinking phenomenon
(9)And today I’ve prepared to fully investigate this issue and I’ve replaced all the cables or plugged the power plug somewhere else, but all of this didn’t help at all

(11)The only correlation I found was that there was a problem with the screen turning off only when the IKEA chair was somehow related
(12)I simply thought that the chair got caught in the cable and the contact became loose, but no matter how much I rocked the cable, nothing unusual happened
(13)This problem happened only when I sat or stood up, even though the chair didn’t even touch the desk
(14)At that moment, I suspected the chair and brought another chair and tested it
(15)There was no problem, the screen was on
(16)And I didn’t bring the IKEA MARKUS chair again, and the screen turned off
(17)What! Did my chair have privacy protection to turn off the monitor automatically
(18)I couldn’t give a logical and scientific explanation for this weirdness
(19)I finally searched the Internet for IKEA MARKUS chair monitoring issues
(20)Wait! I wasn’t the only one who had the problem! I’m at a German forum
(21)I was able to find a post like this
(22)The problem is that the fabric seat and the gas suspension in the chair cause a strong electrostatic discharge
(23)It turns out that you can turn off the monitor for a while
(24)The solution is to insulate the chair with copper foil, as you can see in this post
(25)I think connecting the ground can help
(26)Welcome to 2023. Your IKEA MARKUS chair is your monitor
(27)It may not be compatible

(29)under dry conditions of less than 40 humidity
(30)A chair made of fabric
(31)In a gas cylinder that changes the height of the chair
(32)Confirmation that static electricity can cause the monitor to turn off
(33)To prevent static electricity from occurring in the chair
(34)We can solve the problem by installing an electrostatic grounding device on the chair
