Flickering on Netflix after Sierra update

I also got the problem with flickering screen, when playing movies on Netflix. First I was afraid it was some hardware bugs, but when I did some tests, I found out it was only Netflix which was flickering. I also got a MacBook air 13 inch early 2015, 256GB and 16GB RAM. Hope someone got a resolution for this issue.

Ok, new update fixed the problem for me in Safari, but it still does that 1 sec upsidedown flip when putting full screen. There is little bit luminosity flickering. Still doing these things in Chrome.

Same with me

Still no fix here, but the flicker took a while longer to happen for the first time. This time it occurred at the 10-minute mark.

Started to do this again in Safari. :/

This problem was happening to me, I went at apple and they ran tests on my computer only to tell me everything was fine after a wait of about 4 days... anyway, I got my MBP back (same model as everyone) and the problem was suddenly gone for a while, until last night when it began again.. posting here to let everyone know I'm experiencing it again if somehow anyone was able to figure out a solution.

I am also experiencing this problem in my brand new MacBook pro early 2015 running MacOS sierra 10.12.1. I have not changed the default settings of display.

I can confirm that this problem has not been corrected and the flickering is happening with both Safari and Chrome. I cannot check Firefox, because I have not installed Firefox in my mac. At first, I freaked out and I thought that there was a hardware problem, but I am relieved now that this is probably due to an error in the drivers of the video card.

Apple, please fix it!

PS1: I am running Netflix in HD, if this is of any use.

PS2: The flickering can be appreciated better, if you watch Netflix in full-screen in a dark room, when dark scenes are on display. Sometimes, it's subtle, but existent and annoying. I prefer not watching in fullscreen than seeing this flickering.

I am also experiencing this problem!!!! PLEASE APPLE FIX!

Hey guys,

Been a while - anyone have any solution to this issue yet? Surprised Apple hasn't released a Sierra update yet.

I had this problem as well and after a while I noticed that the flickering went away if I wasn't watching in full screen mode. With some more googling I discovered that flux was causing the flickering. I imagine that people watching netflix during the day - when flux is inactive - are suddenly irked when their movies start flickering and displaying artifacts after sundown...

I thought it was F.lux, I tried uninstalling it, still the same problem.

I think 10.12.2 update fixed this for me at least in Safari.

I never had F.lux.

I'm having the exact same problem. This is extremely frustrating. I have no idea why this is happening. Has anyone found a fix to this? I tried switching out of the default scaling and it worked, but with the default "feels like" resolution it still flickers.

I've been experiencing the same issue with Netflix in Chrome. I don't have this problem when I watch Netflix using Opera, strangely.
