Hi,
I'm having a screen flickering issue when playing videos full screen on safari. Did anyone else notice the same?
Model: Macbook Air A1932
OS: Monterey
Processor: Intel Core i5 8210Y
Graphics: Intel UHD 617
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0
Guys... I think I just found out the cause (with your hints by setting mouse/resolution...).
I remember, before I upgraded mine to Monterey my screen (Samsung C49HG9x) told me, Freesync 2 is not enabled by MacBook Pro 16 (2019). After I upgraded I was happy to see Freesync 2 was enabled. I think the variable refresh rate caused the flickering!
I changed the refresh rate to fixed value, the flickering was gone then. Any fixed refresh rate works (no matter, 144Hz or the lower one like 59,88Hz). I changed back to "variable (48-144)", the flicker issue was there again till I changed back to fixed refresh rate. So this issue is reproducible.
I dunno why accessibility settings would affect (as some of you reported), maybe it disables variable refresh rate (maybe because it's not good for visually impaired persons?). Just a guess of me.
Guys... try out this setting and give feedback, if it helps. And also tell, which display you're using, especially if it has freesync (and maybe g-sync?). Maybe it gives Apple devs some idea to find a fix.
Also I want to know if anyone from Apple is reading here... since I didn't see any post from Apple. :/ I think Apple needs to take care of this issue.

Hi, my screen started to glitch on full screen mode while watching Netflix after updating to Monterey. Tried both Safari and Chrome.
Model: MacBook Pro Retina 15"
OS: Monterey 12.0.1
Processor: 2,2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
Graphics: Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
I have a new MacBook and it is working perfectly. I think it has to do with and AMD graphics card since I know it was giving issues with Metal. AMD is bad but I don't know if it is the issue for sure. Apple I guess isn't even addressing the issue.
I have a MacBook Pro 13" (2015) and after upgrading to Monterey the screen is randomly flickering in almost every app I use. i tried several "screen flicker fixes" I found online and even re-installed Monterey. Nothing works. Any help out there?
Thanks
I get a black bar that flickers. It is inconsistent. The black bar does not stretch across the screen on my 2017 iMac 27"
its not really all that bad, but it happens in programs and it is random. Sometimes it happens in the same program while using it
and sometimes it doesn't. The black bar flickers so fast that I can't catch all the detail. I am also noticing it on my iPhone 12 the past few days. The black bar flicker is minimal though, but annoying. I can't exactly pin point all the programs it happens in, but I do notice it in adobe photoshop and maybe in Illustrator. I t is hard to pin point, I am also guessing it happens in videos online.
If you need more detail let me know.
OS Monterey Version 12.1
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)
Processor 4.2 Ghz Quad-core Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
Macintosh HD
Graphics Radeon Pro 580 8GB
Is this happening since upgrading to Monterey?
Yes.
Have they said anything about a fix? Mine does it when playing flight sim. Never happened before. Crazy. I wish Apple can fix. Regret upgrading.
What video card are you using?
Since upgrading to Monterey 12.0.1 now the right hand side of the screen is permanently grey and it continues to flicker - when will there be another upgrade to fix this issue
Agreed they told me to reinstall Monterey no impact now having to go to Apple Store to see what they can do - not very impressive
Can’t seem to not flicker for a second. Video being played or not:(
Hello Michael,
I have same issue with my MacBook Pro 16 (2019) with i9 and Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB. It happens with Youtube and Netflix if I run them with full screen. With Netflix I noticed, it flickers when subtitle shows the next text.
I've just tried as suggested to run with safe mode. There were no flickering. So now what?
I don't think it is site specific since there were no flickering with Big Sure, I got that problem since Monterey update. I also noticed, this flickering only occurs on second screen (Samsung C49HG9x) connected with CalDigit TS3 Plus+ and with DisplayPort.
Best regards
