macOS Tahoe Bug Triggers Studio Display Flicker, Persists Through 26.2

Reporters say the pattern suggests a software or firmware culprit.

Overview

  • MacRumors reports firsthand testing that found the flicker continues under macOS 26.1 and 26.2, with users saying it has recently grown more frequent.
  • The glitch is intermittent and most often appears when switching to bright or white screens or scrolling light webpages, sometimes repeating for several seconds.
  • While most complaints involve Apple’s Studio Display, users also describe similar behavior on other external monitors and some Mac notebooks.
  • Apple has not publicly acknowledged the issue or announced a fix.
  • Troubleshooting such as disabling Night Shift, True Tone, or automatic brightness has offered only mixed, anecdotal relief.
