HP Laptop Screen Flickers While Watching Movies Online

Hey HP Community,

It sounds like your HP laptop screen flickering while streaming movies online could be related to a few common issues, such as your graphics driver, browser hardware acceleration, or display settings. Since downloaded videos play fine, it likely points to how your browser or streaming apps interact with your GPU. A good first step is to update your graphics drivers (both Intel/AMD/NVIDIA, depending on your laptop) and check for Windows updates. You can also try disabling hardware acceleration in your browser or apps like (edited) and see if that stops the flickering. Additionally, adjusting the refresh rate or power settings for your display might help, as some laptops dim or flicker when trying to save power. Many users have reported similar problems, and these tweaks usually resolve the issue.

Best Regards!!
