Studio Display Flicker Persists After macOS Tahoe 26.1 and 26.2, Worsens for Some Users
Evidence from MacRumors testing suggests a software or firmware fix is needed.
Overview
- macOS Tahoe introduced an intermittent flicker on Studio Display units connected to Macs.
- The issue persists through versions 26.1 and 26.2, with reports saying it has worsened in recent days.
- MacRumors reproduced the behavior on a MacBook Pro paired with a Studio Display.
