This issue can be fixed by switching the display to RGB [1]. So I think it’s a software bug but it‘s really annoying since the fix sometimes resets and the bug only occurs when there is a lot of black on the screen.

I have two monitors connected to M1 mac. One works perfectly fine and is automatically RGB. Other flickers and when changing to RGB mode it is lime green. Wonder why it is not problem with Intel Macs and if M3 fixes those bugs? Maybe it is Apples feature to sell more of their own monitors. They make sure other high end brands do not work with macOS. It does not make sense that this kind of bug is 3 years active.

    But Apple support blames that Dell makes shitty monitors and it is not their problem :D They advised me to buy Apple Display.

      To be fair Apple usually follow specs to a fault- the problem they have when tying into non-Apple ecosystems is when de facto standards others follow are widespread- they often don’t implement/test those and don’t consider it their problem when encountered…

        They know that their software/hardware is buggy for three years, but blaming others is easier than admit they made mistake. Other monitors work without flicker in Intel Macs, and suddenly M1 Macs have flicker issue... Solution: "Buy Apple Display"

  That's hilarious because that sounds like the old sync-on-green problem that Macs and monitors used to have. And that used to happen a lot with Dell monitors. How very odd.
