Last few days I started to notice my IPP 12.9 2020 screen starts to flicker when playing a game (e.g. CIV VI) or watching movies (e.g. Netflix). The screen very briefly turns black (like a flash), almost hardly noticeable, but...once you know, you notice :) The issue happens less frequent during web browsing (Safari) and haven’t noticed it in the (Apple) mail app yet.

Has anyone had this before and found a solution?

Interesting. So it happens more frequently during intensive tasks?
 
Yes, that seems to be the case. Trying to replicate the issue is difficult as it’s rather sporadic but I am sure it’s with mor intensive apps. Also pretty sure I ruled out eyesight issues :)
 
I've not noticed anything like this on mine, I'll run some programs tonight to see if I get anything similar but tbh display flickers are normally always hardware faults
