Blinking screen elements - low refresh rate?

[janohan]

Hello guys,

the situation is:
Some dark elements blinks on my 10.10. The blinking is very fast like very low refresh rate. Windows 8.1 is OK, nothing blinks.

the example: (sorry, it's in Polish but the language is not the case here)


The two elements of the web marked in red rectangulars blinks most. The rest of the page also blinks but not as much.

It's not the page only but many dark elements of the screen in random apps.

does it also blinks for You?

i cannot change refresh rate in my display settings and i'd like to know Your opinion before messing with the DSDT and so on.

the question is, what could be the problem?! how to fix it?

The screen flicker with certain patterns is common with certain displays.

Not that we know of. Perhaps swapping to a different LCD panel?

Yes, it is a known issue with OS X and certain panels.

My ProBooks have the problem but not my Lenovo u430.
