You are correct. Here is that thread.

At this point we are looking for common factors. Post up any other useful information you can think of.

Does anyone know the Hz of the backlights?

Does this flicker still happen on an external monitor?

Human vision factors:
Most people can see flicker at about 80 hz. This is most noticeable in bright light and in the peripheral vision areas. Most people adjust to the flicker rate of their local power so that they no longer notice the flicker.

Most people can see an animation as continuous movement at about 20 Hz. The brain tends to understand that it is seeing an animation and assembles it as movement. On things that are not moving, the flicker is more noticeable as your brain has nothing it can assemble the flicker into.

Some people have said that they can see the flicker while other people around them can't. This could be because some people are less sensitive to noticing flicker. This could also be because the other person is looking at the screen from farther away (say, over the shoulder of the owner) and the screen is centered in their vision, not in the peripheral vision areas. If you are one of these people please let us know it your test persons have actually sat directly in front of the laptop, just like you normally would be when you see the flicker.

I suspect the flicker is actually due to the Hz of the backlights, not the actual refresh rate of the screen.

Acer :: 5920 Screen Flicker

Mar 7, 2009

On my Acer 5920, the screen flickers off and on when I plug up to my projector to give a power point presentation. I have called Acer NO-HELP; they said it was a 3rd party software issue, which was not true, because there is no software- it is plug and play. I called Epson; they suggested to chage the refresh rate to 60 and I did to no avail.

There final word was that it must be the Graphics Card.

Acer :: 1410 Screen Flicker

Dec 18, 2009

I found a couple other reviews where people said they had a noticeable (more so on dimmer settings, for me) screen flicker with their timelines. I have the 1410 with su2300 proc. Anyone else noticing this problem? It's enough to distract me, which can be annoying, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to the visuals.

Apple :: Macbook Screen Flicker

Jul 21, 2009

my white 13.3 inch macbook has developed like a flickering problem, its a good few years old, max memory on this one is only 2gb's. well anyways, the screen, it has only done it intermittently but when opening it for wake up, or when the screen dims, it ocassionaly does like a flicker thing, but only for a few seconds, then it stops. my guess, its the screen invertor.

Apple :: Macbook Pro Screen Flicker

Feb 10, 2009

i was working on my thesis in a completely dark room and realized that the screen on my macbook pro flickers even if the background is completely white. this annoyed me to no end since i have sensitive eyes, so i set out looking for a temporary fix before i try and get apple to replace my panel. anyhow, luck has it that there is a fix out there that at least temporarily stops the flicker (i havent seen it posted on nbr before, and my apologies if this is old news): press ctrl-shift-eject to reset the screen. once it goes blank, hit any key and your display should be good to go. worked for me and my screen has been flicker-free for ~30 minutes.

Acer :: Aspire 6930G Screen Flicker

Apr 26, 2010

I've been plagued with this problem for the past month and a half at least, so much so that the laptop has spent the last 3 weeks with Acer and their technical support team in Plymouth (I only got it back last week).

The laptop was sent off with a fault to the screen. It intermittently flickers, mainly when the screen is moved, but sometimes not. The laptop was sent off to Acer 3-4 weeks ago and was returned last week. A report was returned with the laptop and reads as follows:

Problem Description:
SYSTEM FUNCTION - SYSTEM FAIL TO FLASH BIOS

Repair Description:
STORAGE - OPTICAL DEVICE WILL NOT READ/WRITE

Diagnosis/Repair Details:
fitted new ODD and middle cover

Spare Part(s) Replaced:
ODD HLDS SUPERMULTI DRIVE 12.7
COVER.MIDDLE.W/MMN/EKEY-BD

As you can imagine, this report left me completely perplexed but I assumed that somewhere within that they had fixed the screen problem and left me with a fully functional laptop again. And of course I'd been without it for 3 weeks and just wanted to turn it on again!! lol (On a sidenote, I had asked them to check the disk drive also, because back when I first got it, it struggled to read any type of disk. This explains the apparent replacement disk drive)................

Dell :: XPS 1645 RGBLED Screen Momentary Flicker?

Mar 7, 2010

I just received this machine, and so far so good.

There is some screen behavior that has me a bit confused though and I'm hoping someone here might have thoughts or advice about it.

Every now and again, the screen gets just a bit dimmer for just a very brief moment, not much, just a bit, and pretty quickly, and then comes back to normal. It almost looks like it wants to go into it's "power saving" mode or something, for a moment, and then back out .....

Acer :: Aspire 5920 Screen Will Flicker Occasionally

Oct 17, 2008

I have an Acer Aspire and it's been good to me mostly; however, I have an issue that I was wondering if anyone could help me with. My screen will flicker occasionally and it has only gotten worse. Sometimes changing the angle of the screen stops it, other times plugging it in stops it but sometimes neither work.

Dell XPS L7 L702X :: Screen Flicker / Bright Flash

May 1, 2013

What is happening with the laptop, sometimes I noticed my laptop screen will flicker(or a bright flash as if someone was taking a picture). When I go to the event viewer it tells me Desktop windows service manager has been disabled by the windows system assessment tool. I'I have the nvidia graphics card + Intel(using optimus technology),running windows 7 professional 64 bit.

I forgot to mention when playing videos I think the graphic card makes a strange noise like there isn't enough power or something (Not 100% sure)

I have nvidia gt555 with intel Optimus 
Intel 2670m
8GB of RAM
Windows 7 professional

I tried to do a fresh install of windows 7 but the problem still persists and I cannot test it since I have deleted the recovery Drive. How do I test if the graphics card is working properly

Acer Aspire V3-772g :: Screen Flicker - BIOS Not Upgraded

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X120e - Horizontal Screen Flicker

Feb 6, 2014

My x120e has been giving me grief recently. It started when, upon awaking the computer, my screen would be very distorted. It was mostly horizontal and was different from the known horizontal screen flicker issue. It would take up large parts of the screen, but no more than half. Now get this, the distortion changed totally depending on what was on the screen. I could even get it to go away completely if I just opened the start menu (with my task bar on the left side of the screen). Typically a restart would alleviate the issue. 
 
I would get a screencap for you guys, but last night I shut down the laptop to 'fix' the issue and the screen never came back on. I can still use an external monitor so I'm not thinking this is a graphics card problem, or at least not entirely.

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Flex :: Major Screen Flicker Followed By Black Out

Apr 18, 2014

I don't think this is the same screen flicker that is experienced by the few others due to auto brightness problems...
 
It's flickering black and then the whole thing turns unresponsive after a while...and although the video shows it happening during a low light environment, i have had this encounter during a brightly lit area as well...

I've posted a copy of what really happens on google drive. Is this a case of motherboard problems? I jsut got my laptop about 3 weeks ago. Any chance for a 1-1 exchange?

Dell :: Vista Owner With Flicker

Dec 2, 2007

I have had a major problem with my M1710 having a fit when running on batteries!

theres a slight flicker when running aero on vista, but the computer has a major fit when running Studio 11 from pinnacle.

have had a great deal of discusion with dell and Tech support with out success.
they suggested new mother board and 7950gtx card!

anyway through reading alot of posts on the forum i tried increasing the clock speeds of the 2d setting on the graphics card

the core is now set at 150 and memory 200

i tried it at 100/150 as suggested on another post.

However 150/200 has created significant performance increase when editting on pinncle studio 11! and vista areo runs smooth as silk

Increasing the Clock speeds cures the flickering problem!

Dell :: Studio LED Backlight 1555 Flicker

Oct 25, 2009

I put this in a new thread because I do not think this is a real problem but how this screen is.

A lot of people report a flicker problem but a flicker problem when it it exists is a major issue with the screen refresh.

What I see is in very light or dark screens on my 1555 is a just detectable "Waviness" of the screen, Almost non noticeable looking directly.
Worse at low brightness

is this just the nature of LED back lit screens? I cannot find much on the internet about this I guess due to so few computers had them prior to these models.

Acer :: Timeline 1810TZ Video Flicker/choppy Issue, Wrong Driver

Jan 1, 2010

I just bought an Acer Timeline 1810TZ a few days ago. I'm having problems with video flickering when I play .avi files and every other file format in VLC media player, I tried a few other players and it's the same issue. I'm pretty sure it's the video drivers I'm using but I don't know how to fix it. I did a clean install of Windows 7 ultimate the day I got it. The image and audio speed is fine on the screen but there's flickering lines across the screen when the camera moves around.

it's not fun watching flickering movies.

I have installed the Mobile Intel® GS45 Express Chipset drivers just as recommended on this forum Acer 1410, 1810, 3810, 4810, 5810 Timeline Drivers, Software, Tweaks and Settings FAQ

Here a screenshot:

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T440p - External Displays Via Ultra Dock (occasional Flicker)

Dec 23, 2013

We have 2 new T440p (i7 4800MQ, 16gb, ssd) which we installed with clean Win 8.1 and the newest drivers (intel hd 10.18.10.3345, nvidia 9.18.13.3182).

The laptops run on 4 ultra docks with different monitor configurations, mostly dual display, one single display, mostly samsung displays, always one display via dvi, second displays vga as we did not receive our display-port adapters yet).

In all configurations we have the same problem: Between every few seconds and about 20 minutes the external screens flicker and get rediscovered. Often this happens in Chrome or when doing some graphic-intensive stuff, but we cannot trace it down. Takes a few seconds to rediscover and all windows not in fullscreen are resized afterwards, because of display resolution detection and mostly we get the Display port new topology notification... We already tried with disabling the nvidia via the nvidia gpu settings and only using hd graphics but that didn't work.
 
A few years ago I had problems with my T400 discrete grafics, but then I could disable it in the BIOS which does not seem to be possible with the T440p...

Sony :: Is The 1920x1080 Screen On The Style Uk Site A X-black Screen With Multiple Lamp

Feb 13, 2009

is the sony FW35V(customizable) on the sony style uk site a 1920x1080 a dual lamp LCD?
it says 16.4" H1080 WXGA++ (1920 x 1080) Widescreen X-black LCD screen with built-in "Motion Eye" Digital Camera, but is it a 1920x1080 dual lamp, multiple lamp(how many?) orr single lamp? make sure its the fw35v not the fw35x. the fw35v is the one that costs £60 to upgrade the screen. the fw35x says HD1080 (1920x1080) X-black LCD with multiple lamp, which im guessing is a dual lamp LCD right? also is the Dual lamp worth it for £60?
what does it do? give brighter?, sharper?, more deep and rich colours? or something else?

Sony :: Parts Of The Screen Have Low Screen Resolution One Brand New Laptop

Apr 18, 2010

I just bought a brand new Sony Vaio VPCF11M1E and I have the following problem:

Because in normal stand the screen is very small, I enlarged it to x150%. Everything becomes bigger, but the following parts are blurry and absolutely not sharp:

-Pop ups, of programs and of windows itself (like advanced settings of something and then a new windows pops up, that one is then totally blurry; you can read it, but it is not the good resolution)

-Google chrome (and with that, all the internet pages)

-The google chrome on the desktop is also very blurry, while all the others, are still sharp (after the enlargement by 150%)

I have tried everything (32 bits colours is on, cleartype is on). I also did a system restore to the first days I bought the laptop and then it was on 100% so the resolution was excellent, but then I put it on 150% and again, the parts I mentioned above, were blurry.

Sony :: Regular Screen Vs. True HD Screen

Nov 13, 2009

the fw series can be purchased with either the
16.4" VAIO Display (1600x900) or the

16.4" VAIO extra-wide HD display (1920x1080)

How much smaller is the text on the true HD screen? I will be using the laptop for charts so more pixels means more screen real estate means more charts. But if the text is difficult to read, then it is counterproductive.

Seeing the gridlines on the charts is also important so if I need a magnifying glass to see what's going on, then the TRUE HD screen is not worth it
