Two days ago I bought a new 2020 iMac 27", i5 3,3 GHz 6‑Core, Radeon Pro 5300/4GB GDDR6, 40GB RAM and immediately updated to Big Sur 11.0.1 and Safari 14.0.1.

Watching Netflix movies in Safari the screen will start to flicker and then within a minute the screen mirrors into two exact halves. After quitting Safari I then realise that has also done the same with the finder desktop etc. And no, it isn't the window splitting function. I have exactly the same system OS and Safari on my work iMac 27", 2017 and tried to reproduce the exact scenario but no glitch.

I am specifying Safari in particular because the glitch doesn't happen, with the exact scenario using Firefox or Chrome on the effected iMac. I have attached two videos to better show what I am facing. I have not, even after scouring the internet and here, found any posts regarding this strange glitch.

Thanks for any information in advance.
