iMac is blinking since Catalina upgrade

[flowam]

Hello,
The screen of my iMac is blinking when my 2nd monitor (Sony TV) is switching off but keeps connected. I have to unplug the HDMI adaptor (or the HDMI cable) to stop the blinking. This problem exists since I upgraded to Catalina from El Capitan. All equipment (hardware, cables, adaptors...) are strictly the same as previously.
What can I do to solve it ? Is there a terminal command to write or a pref setting to modify ?

I already empty the PRAM and SMC. nothing changes !
thanks by advance

my setup :
Imac 21.5" 2013 w/ SSD & 16Go RAM
MacOS Catalina 10.15.7
thunderbolt/HDMI adaptor + câble HDMI to connect the TV
TV/moniteur Sony

Hello and welcome.

First things I would try, other than swapping out cables and adapters of course, are:
-How to reset the SMC of your Mac
-Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac

See if that helps.
