I bought 15" Macbook pro 2018 a few day.
I found some video or live shaking/choppy in safari, only in full screen.
Anyone has the same problem?
Please give me an advice.
Thank you.

Had this problem too and finally found the solution. Some MacBook Pro’s have dual graphics cards. Mac OS switches between them depending on what kind of work you are doing, and by switching cards it saves batteries. By turning this feature off the glitching stopped. go to 'System Settings' and select 'Energy Savings'. There you’ll find the checkbox, “Automatic Graphics Switching”, which is turned on by default. Uncheck the tickbox and the flickering stops.

Thank you for your reply.
I consult with Apply support yesterday.
I tried these things as you mention... safe mode, new admin user, ... etc.
However, today I notice that flicker video incur when using Safari only (my version: 12.0.3)
[macOS Mojave 10.14.3]
I download Chrome to test the same video in full screen, found no issue about flickering.
Chrome running smooth.
UPDATE!

And found cause of problem that 'Automatic graphic switching' in Energy saver.
When I turn it off (uncheck), video run smooth.
If you want to try some troubleshooting before calling Apple Support, try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.
