Fix for the external Monitor for Mac... Could work for Windows if you use the same main idea. Hope you guys enjoy. FYI this is my first video so please give me the hammer.
My monitor had serious, constant flickering and black screening. This was solved by going into the monitor's menu and selecting reset. Changing some of the settings like Eco and HDR triggers the problem again and even causes a black screen which requires turning off and on the monitor, then pressing the menu to have the monitor display again. Resetting fixes this repeatedly. After fixing that, there is glitching as seen in the video. Confirmed my cable is 1.2 as I changed the refresh rate to 120Hz from 144Hz and the glitching stopped.
Thank you. You saved me! I changed the “input compatibility version” on my monitor setting from 1.4 to 1.2. It did automatically lower the refresh rate from 180hz to 144hz
dude ur actually goated, with the new mac os update is changed my monitors refresh rate and i just had to change it back to what it was and now works perfectly
Mine was due to using an obsolete HDMI 1.4b cable on a 4k display running 4k resolution. I upgraded to a HDMI 2.1 cable and fixed that issue. It also unlocked new color bit depth and refresh rates in windows.
My fairly new AMD RX 6400 was working fine for a while, but my 2010 Samsung TV (Second Monitor) may be getting a little sensitive at the HDMI PC input, and so the picture flickers or sometimes goes black for a second or two. If I remove the HDMI cable from the AMD RX 6400, and hook it up to the HDMI output of my backup computer, everything works fine, and thus the TV works perfectly. If I instead hook the AMD RX 6400 to my Primary Monitor a second time, by using an HDMI to VGA converter, here too, everything works fine. So begin with, I had one long cheap HDMI cable, which was then connected to another long but good wide band HDMI cable, which then was connected to the TV. So the best I could do for the moment, was I reversed it such that the wide band HDMI cable comes first, and thus it is now connected to the RX 6400 instead, and the cheap one comes second in line, and this reduced the occurrence of the flickering dramatically.
Update. I replaced the second cheap 10 foot cable with a 4K 3 foot cable. Everything is now working perfectly. So I have reduced from a total cable length of 25 feet, down to 18 feet. It was all a bit confusing since all was working well if the 25 foot cable was hooked up to the motherboard video output, or to a GT 710 card, or to a GT 1030 graphics card. The AMD RX 6400 was just not able to do the same.
I have the exact issue. But I have my built-in display exactly at 60Hz and True Tone and Auto-Brightness both OFF. Still has the same issue. But I am running Ventura now. Is your fix persistently working for you?
I found this issue too, for what seems to be the same monitor. I found this fix too. However, it changes back to 59.9hz automatically and starts to flicker again. Any fix for that?
how can it be a good solution to relieve a 4 k monitor, which is overwhelmed by itself, with a lower resolution? Then you can directly buy a wqhd monitor.
By the God's kind, I recently bought an Xiaomi 34" Mi curved monitor for my MacBook Pro 13 2018. when I connect it by an hdmi cable with Apple usb-c to hdmi adaptor, my MacBook's screen starts blinking , and no signal masage is on the external display. Seems like my MacBook can't switch between screens. MacBook stops blinking as soon as I disconnect the hdmi cable. It's good to say I connect it to my 55" 4k and everything is fine. Guys, what should I do?
I don’t have a laptop connected but my monitor is still doing the same thing and I was using a dp cable and switched to an old hdmi and it’s fine, does anyone have any tips?
I’ve found the solution, check what format the display port is as mine is 1.2 but my monitor was on 1.4 so it was causing issues and nothing has flickered so far after changing it
