Random screen flickering while watching videos.

Video showing the exact same problem that sdbrown000 had, recorded via screen recorder. Definitely a sign that it's some faulty software bug, not sure if it's the GPU itself or its drivers. Sorry if the rec. quality is bad.

Hey there! I'm glad to hear it's working for you.

I've tried playing on Safari again for a few minutes but I'm still seeing the issues (apparently it took a bit longer to happen). Did you update any software or changed anything?

Hey i recently purchased a macbook pro 15 retina and after updating it to sierra i have been facing exactly the same issues and could not seem to find a workaroud rather than using firefox. Anything you could find?

I've been having this same issue on several websites not just netflix. It happens on facebook, reddit and others. Once I had the 'new-tab' page on safari in the background doing it. I've taken a video with my phone to demonstrate my problem.

Hi! My mid 2014 MacBook Pro (15 inch, retina) also has the same issue. I'm glad to hear that it might be due to OS Sierra since last year they had to replace my entire motherboard due to the screen as well. I was thinking of taking it to the nearest iShop but I guess I'll wait to see if they fix it with a new update.

Hey Guys, I have the MacBook Air 2017 and I the problem is still there! I also have that flicker on Netflix. I went to the store where I bought it, they gave me a new one and it also has the same problem!

I have contacted Apple by phone and they say "we don't know anything about problems like you describe". I think that's a little arrogant and to easy. I have a 2000 dollar laptop which cannot playback Netflix normally. It's unacceptable, I thought that it was fixed by resetting de NV ram with the support engineer by phone but a few minutes later the problem seems to persist.

On Monday I will contact Apple support again because I won't accept this.

Any solution to this yet?

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) - 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 8 GB ram

Happens all the time. Super annoying. Only thing i can do is refresh the page until it stops.

Yes, this indeed solves the issue but this is not a valid workaround. It only started when I upgraded recently to High Sierra and it still smells like a bad OpenGL bug to me which needs to be addressed by Apple

I have this exact issue. While I watch any videos on full screen there are weird graphical glitches. Also, when I minimize the screen white flash-like, static flicker appears for 0.5 seconds. Did anyone fix this issue, please inform us.

I’m having the same problem. Only Netflix as I can tell. I use safari as my browser. I’ve also noticed the snow- black and white static screen when I first open my MacBook after not having used it for a couple minutes. I have the 2017 MacBook Pro with touch bar. When watching Netflix full screen, it will go black for about a half second and then go back to normal and repeats every 20 seconds or so. Suggestions?

Awesomedude415 im having the same issue this issue started once I upgraded to Sierra its getting really annoying I've already wiped my laptop thinking it was bug but now I don't think it was.
