I'm going to install the Big Sur public beta later this week and I'll report back on the results! :-)
#Gfxcardstatus external display software
The test with running it at or 2048x1152 both gave me less flickering / no flickering at all so my guess is software problems.

The native resolution is 2560x1440p and I've been running it first on with quite positive results with the flickering nearly disappearing completely.Īlso a which has so far resulted in less flickering but instead the flickering has "moved" From the lower left quadrant of the display to the upper right and is "longer" in horizontal length, so it seems seems that full resolution is the culprit and not the refresh rate. Since my last post and messaging with Dan, I've been experimenting with running a custom resolution on my external display with the app "SwitchresFX". I switched back to 2560x1440p (default) and the flicker has so far happened 3 times within 45 to hear that we're not alone! (I also found some discussions on stack exchange regarding a similar problem with the 16") Note 1: Running on lower resolution seems to fix the flickering to some degree, I’ve been running it on the "one step lower" (2048x1152) resolution for 8+ hour without any flicker. If anyone has any idea on what could be the cause behind this I’m glad to hear :-).

Some cheap bluetooth mouse from office works connected to the laptop through a usb-a receiver connected to a usb-c -> normal USB adapter from apple.

BENQ PD2700Q Running at max res (2560x1440, default res).So salt water in the air could be a potential factor. Checking monitor internals since I live next to the ocean (eastern Australia) so corrosion has happened on other electronics such as TV ports and the monitor is +2 years old with heavy daily usage.Testing the display with my partners Early 2015 13” MBP (No DGPU), no flicker from what I have noticed (currently testing this).Running with True Tone, Night shift and automatic brightness adjustment disabled.Cleaned the HDMI cable ends + ports on adapter and monitor with compressed air (Only got 1x cable + 1x hdmi port on the monitor).Running at a slightly lower resolution (2048x1152).Disabled and later enabled the battery health management (to see max capacity with it turned off).The only software change i’ve done is installing Citrix Receiver / Workspace to access Bloomberg Terminals from home (Had to reinstall it twice due to glitches).Used to have everything connected to the right side of the computer, 1x digital av adapter with power, hdmi + webcam connected through one usbc and next to it I had the usbc - USB adapter with my mouse.Ĭurrently only got HDMI connected to the AV adapter, power on left side ports.When using only the built in display, I forced it to only use the high performance / dedicated GPU since I thought it could be related to it, no flicker.Refresh rate on both monitors is set to 60hz at default resolutions.Resetting the NVRAM & SMC seems to fix it temporarily for a few hours / up towards a day.Seems to be triggered by activity on the display such as video playing, scrolling, playing video games (World of warcraft Classic, so not performance intensive).

No “pattern” to it, happens at random intervals but tend to be sometimes a 30 minutes wait between each time and this morning it hasn’t happened in 4 hours (So far).No stuttering or performance degradation when it happens.GPU & CPU temps are all stable and normal.Does only happened when Im using the computer, tried having it on idle / doing nothing without any flicker occurring.Seems to only happened on the left “half” of the monitor.White, small horizontal lines appearing for a few ms.
