    I'm new here, so apologies if I make mistakes regarding rules on what to post. :)

    Edit: Added pictures and a video. These were taken before it got replaced. While applying the edit, I experienced one!

    I bought an Asus X454LD last May 5 and it was working flawlessly on its first day. I immediately installed all necessary updates and remove unnecessary bundled software like Asus webstorage (I don't need it since I use a lot of cloud based storage already), Asus enhanced display (I think that's what's it's called, don't quite recall it), Mcafee, Asus live update, and a software that offers for a purchase of Office 2013.
    Then I suddenly experienced some flickers with the display, there are no specific software or time that triggers this "flicker", it just happens. then I got a bit worried and went back to the Asus store 5 days after the purchase and got it immediately replaced with a new one (phew).
    As I got home, I did all the things mentioned above, and it still occurred (twice, hours after the replacement). So my suspect now is a software that probably got uninstalled or an update that got installed since I haven't installed any program by the time I'm writing this.
    Specs are:
    i3-4030U
    NVidia 820m
    4gb memory
    1tb hdd
    Windows 8.1 64-bit SL


    Pictures (normal behavior - Flicker)

    Thanks in advance! Will edit this if I happen to experience more abnormal behavior or won't experience the issue at all.
