Don't go onto Amazon and order a random cheap ac adapter for any console that you have. They create a bunch of noise on the screen and it leaves a trail of flickering pixels going up the screen.

Also, if you're remotely DIY inclined or have basic electronics skill. USB-C all the things

    Alternative to skill, you can solve this problem with money.

    USB-C "trigger cables" that have the hardware to request a voltage from the supply and a barrel jack on the other end are common enough, and available in most of the standard voltages: https://www.adafruit.com/product/5450

    For more money, you can have ones that support PPS mode (3.3 - 48V in 0.1V steps) from a compatible supply, and a dozen interchangeable cables (including centre negative): https://werewolf.us/collections/werewolf-products
