    Hi I would like you to know that this Issue has been around since the surface pro 4. Microsoft has been ignoring us and pulled out the support of the SP4 leaving the problem Unaddressed. It is quite Surprising that the new product has also been suffering from this issue. I have contacted Panos Panay but he ignored my message so I know he is aware of this issue but chose to disregard it. I hope you guys do not get ignored like us SP4 users suffering from this issue. - Disappointed User has moved on to ACER

    for more info pls check:

    and my discussion which has no reply from the support: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/surfpro4-surfdrivers/screen-shaking-for-surface-pro-4-it-seems/8a5c04a2-ebda-4331-809c-d308f0435fdd

    For meaningful solution, try this:

    Thanks for your effort. However, i am experiencing flickering like horizontal line across the screen, not brightness change as described in the link above.
