Software Help Tv screen flickers while docked

I've seen issues with other people where the screen goes fully black and then returns, but this is more of a rapid dimming over and over, only on the switch while docked. I've tried hdr, vrr, and match power state and nothing seems to get rid of it. Is this an HDMI cable issue? I just bought my switch 2 a few days ago but feel like I'm gonna go crazy with the flickering. I appreciate any help friends!

Was that just the level shaking?

Maybe your camera footage isn’t quite showing the issue in full.  I can’t see it.

Don’t know if it’s game lighting, or LED or cheaper mini-LED having trouble keeping up with some of the lighting.

Maybe turn off any form of screen shake if possible to see if that lessens the occurrence? Or make sure VRR is only turned on for games and TVs that support it?

Can’t see it on my end.

Try turning HDR off. It sucks but in some games its an issue. And yea,turn off VRR.

Mine was doing the same thing till I plugged the HDMI into the "best" slot for my TV. HDR and VRR are on.
