HDMI cable/port degrading? (programming.dev)

I have a moderately long HDMI cable running to a screen that has worked for quite a while. Recently the screen lost its connection. I replaced the cable with the exact same model of HDMI cable, and its all good. The cables arent frequently inserted or removed, and they are otherwise in good condition. I have no idea how or why this could happen. Any ideas?

Cable sits fairly flat across the floor, relatively unmoved, but safe from beeing stepped on or damaged. I did move the cable around a bit while testing, but no luck.
