    Anyone's screen flickering?

    Before I purchase a Sager I just wanted to know if anyone notices their screen flickering at the lowest brightness setting? It's not very obvious (if it exists at all) but if someone could confirm this for me that would be appreciated. LED back lit screens would be the only ones affected by it.

    I have 95% matte screen too - just tried it - no flicker.

    I've been using Sagers for years and never noticed anything like this. Just double-checked on my 120Hz screen at lowest setting and the brightness level is constant on battery and plugged in.

    The backlight is LED though, and I do remember flickering in an old IBM with CCFL backlight...
