    The last few BIOS updates from Dell has resulted in screen flicker on my new XPS 15 (9550). I had to revert back to BIOS v1.2.0 and problem is solved.

    However, this begs the question, is everyone who runs the latest version of the bios experiencing screen flicker or is there something faulty with my LCD display? My 1 year warranty is coming due end of this month and if it does need replacing, I would like to know now.

    If it's strictly a BIOS/software issue, then anyone know how to resolve it or is Dell expected to release an update that addresses this issue?

    Thanks
