So far on my pair of AS macs this latest MacOS 13.4 beta 3 looks like it can’t improve much. (very stable)

Constant crashes with external monitors. These issues have surfaced all along the Ventura cycle so it's worrying that they occur again at this supposedly stable end of the cycle.

Give examples involving external display interface utilized? Is this third party drivers, or particular connectivety you utilize? For example if using Studio Display does it regularly occur? Yes I seen some comments but seldom details to what is failing vs working,

Constant crashes with external monitors. These issues have surfaced all along the Ventura cycle so it's worrying that they occur again at this supposedly stable end of the cycle.

The symptoms of this is the external monitor will lock up, but you can continue to work and shut down apps. If you try to disconnect and reconnect the external monitor you'll get a full freeze / KP. So your only option is to save your work and do a regular restart.
