So, I’ve been having flickers on my 2018 MBP while watching netflix in fullscreen. The problem has appeared in 2 of my MBP’s with the latest version of Mojave on them. I have written about this in previous threads.
I’ve been searching the net for a solution. I’ve tried everything from resetting the SMC and NVRAM to downloading silverlight etc…
The only thing that seems to be working (stopped the flickering when watching full screen Netflix) is unchecking “Automatic graphics switching” under energy saving.
This one person said on reddit that it only happens when watching shows with a high bitrate. They said that they have watched many shows and never had this problem (Just like me)! They said they don't get this error on chrome because, netflix just works on Safari at high bitrates. Other browsers have limitations. Btw you can see playing bitrate with clicking "Shift+Control+Option+D".
So, my question is … What do you think? Is this correct? Have I returned the MBP for no reason? Do you think that this is normal and my MBP isn’t a lemon?
Thank you
