Apple Studio Display flickering

Hello,


When I switch apps or enter/exit full screen video on YouTube my Apple Studio Display occasionally flickers. It happens only when Apple Display P3-600 nits profile is selected. All other profiles don’t exhibit such behavior. I tried switching off True Tone and Auto brightness, but it didn’t help. Do you think it’s a malfunction? Please see the video attached for more info. I use it with Mac Studio M1 Max.

Are you using exactly the Apple Pre-Engineered 1 meter ThunderBolt cable that shipped in the box with that high-end display?


to use an ordinary ThunderBolt cable, its length is limited to 0.5 meter, maximum.


Only the original Apple cable or a Thunderbolt cable sold as ACTIVE [over US$125 retail] can be longer.
