PS5 Slim screen goes black when closing God of War: Ragnarök

Hey guys, I’ve noticed something weird with my PS5 Slim — every time I close God of War: Ragnarök, my screen goes completely black for a few seconds, then the PS5 menu comes back.

It only happens with this game, and it still happens even when I set the output to 2K (1440p) and turn HDR off.

From what I understand, it’s probably an HDMI handshake delay — the PS5 switches video modes (HDR → SDR, or refresh rate / color format) when the game closes, and my TV briefly loses signal. Anyone else get this, or found a way to stop it completely?
