external monitor flickering

Yes - this issue has been discussed alot. I have tried all the suggested solutions - changing colorprofile, changing refresh rate, changing cable. The problem occurs both for thunderbolt-thunderbolt and thunderbolt-displayport. The only "work around" is using hdmi, which is a major downgrade considering the cost of these mac computers.


I have this flickering problem both on a Studio Ultra m1, and on a macbook pro m1.


I am using a Benq PD3220 external screen, but I read that the issue is also related to many other brands. I am using my macs for work, and this flickering is a real problem now. Can anyone recommend a screen where this flickering is NOT happening (more than 1 year flicker-free) ? Did anyone with a mac monitor experince this problem ?


Can it be fixed by sending the computer to repair at apple - did anyone get it fixed by repair ?

This flickering was not permanent from the beginning. It happened once in a while, but by fiddling around in the configuration, I could minimize the flickering. One of these was to change the refresh rate (normally 60hz), but it really just makes the flickering less visible. Not this flickering is rather permanent, and worse.
