Thanks for the note. But mine, official 15.0.1, still definitely have the screen flickering issue (on a dark grey solid color background).

The problem seems to be with the external monitor compatibility so upgrading Mac OS probably won’t resolve the issue. Here is what others are reporting, unfortunately lots of different things to try: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/u405lh/m1_mac_dell_monitor_flickering_issue_fixed/?rdt=51447


What make and model is your external monitor, maybe the manufacturer has some suggestions?

I’ve been doing all the updates and what I have noticed with the latest 3 or so is that after the first day it settles down

also ‘flickering’ is not the right term now - what is actually happening is images on the second monitor get moved to the main monitor which thrn goes blank reappears then those images get replaced
