I've been having some problems with my monitor, which started when my HDMI port began to fail. I noticed that whenever I move the cable, the monitor would show purple and pink flashing lights. I'm wondering if the issues with my HDMI port could be the reason for my monitor problems, and if a faulty HDMI connection can really affect what I see on my monitor.

Absolutely, a faulty HDMI port can lead to those purple and pink flashing lights on your monitor. This usually means the video feed is corrupted, likely due to a loose or damaged connection. When the HDMI port isn't working properly, it can cause data loss which manifests as color distortions and flickering.
I get that, but I've tried plugging my laptop and Xbox into the monitor, and I see the same flashing lights. However, my PS5 works perfectly with my TV. So what's going on?
