MBP Flickering

[tom burns]

I have noticed a slight flickering on the screen on my unibody MBP when I wake it up from display sleep. But only when I wake it up immediately after the screen goes black.
It happens with any of the GPus.
Does anyone know if this is normal?....😕

hmm, ok, i only notice the flicker on low brightness levels, like a pulsing. Goes away after 10 minutes though.

i do see the flicker when checking the link above no matter what my level of brightness.

I think the flicker you see in the pattern is normal however.

My friend has a DELL XPS and he does not see any flickering on this pattern.

it might be the nature of the LED.

i have this issue too and it's a little annoying.
is it normal for the LED to display backgrounds like this with flicker?
and is there anyone with unibody mbp who doesn't have this problem?

I'm using my MBP with an external monitor and that page flickers. So this is either related to video card / driver / settings, or the laptop screen and the external screen are having the same problem.
