Just realized my display flicker was from a loose cable clip.

Pushed it back in and BOOM, perfect picture.

Watched my buddy Dave nearly return a brand new monitor last month. He spent days complaining about random black flashes during work. Turned out his DisplayPort cable wasn't fully clicked in at the back. Gave it a firm push until he heard the snap, problem completely gone. He felt like a genius for fixing it but also silly for almost driving to the store.

Honestly seems like a basic thing to check first. People make it sound like a huge discovery when it's just a loose plug. Not exactly rocket science to fix.

Which cable was it, the HDMI or the power?
