Monitor flickering

General flicker should be separated from flicker that occurs only with variable refresh.

Run the check

  1. Observe a static test color and record when brightness changes.

  2. Compare desktop, one video, and one game at the same display mode.

  3. Try a different cable or port before changing several settings.

Read the result

Flicker limited to a variable-frame-rate game merits the VRR-specific check.

Limits and next step

The browser cannot read panel power behavior or cable signal integrity.

Repeat the check after changing one setting or connection. Keep a record of what changed before deciding whether the device needs service.
