Macbook Air 2020 Screen Flickers when fullscreen Apple TV Plays in Fullscreen

Just got my brand new MacBook Air 2020 a couple days ago.

When I played some shows on Apple TV in full screen, it starts flickering/flashing.

Happens randomly and occurs in many shows.

(Defending Jacob, The Morning Show, and some documentaries too.)


YouTube and Netflix do not seem to have the same problem.

(But I don't have Netflix in 4K and my wifi is too slow for running 4K on Youtube. Lots of delaying)

I restarted both the app and the laptop. (long hold the start button) and still the same.

Should I simply go replace with a new one?

That is not the proper way, if it can be avoided (more like a last resort if it won’t shut down any other way).

See if it makes a difference if you change the streaming quality for the TV app﹥Preferences﹥Playback.

E.g. “Better” instead of “Best Available”.
