The screenshot shows my computer. Screen flickering happens when it's using integrated graphic card, but it's OK when using Radeon Pro 555X 4 GB.
Not whole screen flickers, but only the bottom of the screen.
Anyone can help? Thanks in advance.
I just purchased a
mid-2019 MacBook Pro (MacBookPro15,2)
2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Model A1989, Product Z0WQ
16GB RAM 2133 MHz LPDDR3
Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 1536 MB
MacOS Mojave 10.14.6, Dark Mode
I too have a similar issue. My flashing/glitch is towards the bottom of the screen like yours but only shows up for 0.5s or less.. and is usually bright magenta or green. I cannot intentionally replicate the issue, it just seems to happen randomly or at least when I have several applications running for school.. ie Word, PowerPoint, Safari (multiple windows each with multiple tabs), iCal, Mail..etc.
From what I have read, the issue might be related to the computer's sleep/awake settings and or the auto dim settings. I haven't had any issue after performing the following steps
1) Reset the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
2) Reset the NVRAM/PRAM https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204063
3) Turn off "Automatically adjust brightness" and "True Tone"(System Preferences > Displays > Uncheck these options)
4) Turn off "Night Shift"
5) Turn display off after 15 minutes. (System Preferences > Energy Saver > Battery > Turn display off after 15min)
No idea which one actually solved the issue but hope this helps.
Hi there,
Thanks for participating in Apple Support Communities.
I recommend updating to macOS Catalina as it may resolve the flickering you've mentioned.

Let us know if we can help further.

The first step you need to take in switching to using the integrated graphics processor exclusively is to head over to the Apple menu. From there, select “Systems Preferences” and from the next set of options, click on “Energy Saver”. Another menu will appear and from here you should deselect the automatic graphics switching by clicking on the checkbox.
I would take it in for service.

Hi there,
I have:
-MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019)
2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9
16 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB
I have upgraded to Catalina 10.15.1
I tried the following as per post above:
1) Reset the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
2) Reset the NVRAM/PRAM https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204063

4) Turn off "Night Shift"
5) Turn display off after 15 minutes. (System Preferences > Energy Saver > Battery > Turn display off after 15min)
This has done nothing and screen is still flickering every 30 seconds or so.
PLEASE help!
I have the same problem on a 2019 15" Macbook Pro on Catalina 10.15.1 (19B88)
Issue started a few days ago, and it's a bit odd getting the screen blinking every 30 seconds. The issue is at mid-level of the screen and at the bottom. Exactly as some pictures already online...
Beware of that, since dedicated graphics use more battery, you will get less hours of stand up time.
This partial fix applies only for the 15"/16" models that have a dedicated graphics cards, this option will not appear on the 13" models AFAIK.
I'm pretty sure that this issue can be resolved with a graphics drivers update... don't know why Apple is doing nothing about this issue, it's frustating.
I have the exact same issue. My MBP works fine when GPU is running but it flashes when the Intel integrated video card is used alone. Catalina doesn't help at all. Could you please update how you could get it fixed? Thank you!

Apple must not really care about the MBP anymore...
I've upgraded to Catalina. It doesn't help.
I have the exact same problem.
Today, I upgraded to Catalina 10.15.2
It did nothing and the screen still flickers. :(
I Have the 2019 16 inch MBP maxes out on everything and I’m getting this same white flicker. I’ve had it 4 days.
