Dell S2722QC flickering update

[Clockwerk]

So I'm planning on buying a 4k monitor for programming and general University use and the Dell S2722QC is on sale and with the student discount, is around $AUD70 cheaper than the LG 27UP850N-W which is also on sale. The problem is there's a lot of discussions on the Internet that says that it doesn't play nice with M1 Macs due to flickering issues, there is a reddit thread saying that apparently Apple and Dell knew about the problem and is apparently fixed on Sonoma 14.5, which 2 people have confirmed that it's not a perfect fix but it reduced the flickering a lot when they used the 14.5 beta.

Can anyone else confirm? Should I just go with the LG monitor instead and save myself the headache of having my screen flicker?

I would. You are rolling the dice whether Apple "fixes" anything related to 3rd party peripherals / displays in a timely manner. Buy something you know works.... at least until the next macOS update

There are plenty of reports of flickering with LG monitors.

As you noted, it's like rolling dice...
