Confirmed with

  • Notebook (generic)

    Exhibits a documented "VRR Flicker" defect where GPU frametime micro-spikes destabilize the panel's subpixel retention voltage, causing a distracting flicker most visible in dark scenes and static menus. Independent testing confirms the only reliable fix requires either using CRU to truncate the VRR floor (e.g. to 120Hz) or manually downgrading the OSD's DisplayPort setting from 1.4 to 1.2 — both solutions materially shrink the monitor's usable feature window.
