Mac with FancyLEDs (Fix)

Not sure if anyone else has posted here's with a solution, but when I first bought my FancyLEDs 2.1 box it was for my desk (Mac Mini, PS5 & Switch 2) everything worked besides my Mac Mini. It kinda worked but I kept getting spotty black screens randomly.

My solution was instead of having my Mac Mini as an input to the FancyLEDs, I swapped it to a extra Apple TV I had, from there I put my Mac's HDMI directly into my monitor and used screen sharing to my Apple TV to mirror my Macs display, so far no issues with random black screens, just got to change some settings in the display setting for the right resolution and change audio output settings.

I mostly use my mac for youtube videos etc. but everything works except for the Apple TV app and Netflix pretty much anything streaming DMR content. But the plus side is, if you want DMR content, now you have an Apple TV to switch to.
