I've had my 14" MBP Max Pro since launch and it is THE fastest and most useable machine I've ever had, and I've had many Mac Pros and dozens of MBPs. Been happy as a clam with it and it hasn't skipped a beat!
Today while doing some general browsing, I started to see this flicker on my screen. Then, upon changing the brightness, it came back. Going up and down in brightness levels showed that some of the LED backlight zones seem to be failing, or something. I know the Pro XDR screen is different in technology than all previous MBPs so I'm not exactly sure how the hardware works, but, this isn't a good sign.
I took a quick video and made an appointment with the genius bar. I rebooted it just to see if it would return, and low and behold, it is now gone. So it may not be exclusively hardware related. I'm posting this in case anyone else has a similar issue down the road.
I have the full AppleCare+ so I'm not worried about it at all, other than if I have to send it away for repair I'll be without a good machine for a while which is no fun.
