EDIT: A PRAM reset seems to have this problem fixed.

------------------------------

Hi everybody,

just a short question: Does anybody here experience display brightness flickering with High Sierra? My MacBook Late 2015 has short flickering between two brightness steps from time to time. Only when the automatic brightness is turned on - however I am not sitting in a problematic light spot, it happens everywhere. I think this started with installing High Sierra so I hope that it is software related. However, as I am not 100% sure about that - therefore it could also be that my brightness sensor doesn't work correctly anymore.

Waiting for the next .1 update at the moment. If anybody else experiences this problem, it would be nice if you could let me know.

Another, probably unrelated effect: When waking up the MacBook from sleep, I see a kind of inverted Mac boot screen (white background, black apple, black loading bar) for a fraction of a second. This definitely wasn't there before installing High Sierra. Again, still waiting for the next point update before installing the whole thing again - hopefully it will fix it.

P.S.: Sorry for using the term "monitor flickering" in the thread title instead of "display flickering" - which would have been more accurate, but I'm not able to edit the title anymore.
