M1 iMac 2021 flickering when zooming

Hi everyone,


since a couple of weeks I sometimes get a flickering screen when I zoom in or out on screen with the normal accessibility feature. It usually happens with brighter backgrounds. The screen doesn't flicker back and forth from an entirely on and off version, but rather from a bright and dark version of whatever I'm looking at. At a rate of probably 5 times per second. It usually ends when I zoom further in or out, but often keeps me from remaining at the zoom level I would have preferred (which is not always the same one).

I've come across the fact that there seems to be issues with external monitors. However, this is happening with the normal built-in screen.

I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.

iMac 24″, macOS 13.1

Sorry for getting back to you so late. I do have reasons, though! ;)


I tried to reproduce the problem over a couple of weeks now, but couldn't. So I'm guessing one of the updates fixed it, at least for me.


Hope the same is true for everyone else!
