Hi everyone,
I'm one of the lucky ones could able to nab one of those laptops early and this little device didn't had a single hiccup so far.
I always use it hooked to a monitor in clamshell mode and rarely use it as a second display to watch something etc. Lately I've noticed, when I'm working on my external monitor, I see a colour flicker happening on mac's screen.
I took a video of it. Keep your eyes on the whites. Notice the colour flicker? (it's %1000 more visible normally.)
This phenomenon doesn't only happens on videos though. I've noticed chrome's top bar is flickering too. But weirdly it only flickers whenever I hover on and make the scroll bar show up WHEN the window is not focused. Issue keeps persisting even if I plug the monitor out.
I'm assuming it's a software related (something with transparency maybe?) issue because I tried to screen record when chrome was flickering AND I did actually capture the flicker through the mov (and I think I've deleted it as I can't find it)
Whenever I see this happening again, I'll screen capture this time and and post here as well.
Anyone else also noticed such thing?
edit: tried to switch off/on true tone and screen dimming stuff, even changed the values of these fellas but had the same results.
edit2 forgot the mention, whenever I resize the window (even 1 px nudge) the flickering stops. Only resizing though. When moved, it keeps doing it.
update I found the video recording of the colour flicker occurring when hovering onto the scroll bar. It's subtle but it's there. this is a screen cap btw, not taken with a camera.
