Both will constantly "blink" or "flicker" on and off

I have the same problem - I have 3 available old Cinema Displays, 2 available power supplies. Tried them all, and combos - none changed the issue at all.
Plugging them into a 2017 MacBook Pro with a Startech USB-C to DVI adapter.
Have switched out power bricks, displays (and associated cables since they're part of the display). I only have the one DVI adapter though.
Both will constantly "blink" or "flicker" on and off, at something like 2Hz (black then displays desktop then black & repeat).
Two of the two displays will show solid for 7 sec, then the display adjusts (all my windows shift by ~1 inch - maybe setting some resolution?) then starts the flickering.
Changing the resolution to "Scaled" in the SysPrefs/Displays panel doesn't appear to help either; flicker rate stays exactly the same, but resolution does change.
Here's a video of the issue: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Mm6gPD5Zzxt14LaTrPaVHTzD4M9J0FXF/view?usp=sharing

Any suggetstions to bring the displays back to life would be appreciated!
