Some Thunderbolt MacBook Pros causing flicker on Cinema Displays, Apple investigates (video)

In an international of sophisticated electronics at the moment, there’s always risks to being an early adopter . Alas, it seems that our latest victims are owners of Apple’s Thunderbolt-laden MacBook Pros. Since launch, a lot of frustrated customers were reporting that their new unibody laptops — of all three sizes — are causing random flicker on both 24-inch and 27-inch Cinema Displays when connected via their Mini DisplayPort / Thunderbolt combo port, and we’ve video proof to share the pain. Some also confirmed that even replacement machines from Apple are exhibiting the identical behavior, though a source of ours says this doesn’t appear to be a widespread issue, and that the corporate’s hardware engineers are already looking into this. Either way, we’re more likely to see a firmware fix for this bug soon — it’s no good having a enormous monitor constantly blinking at you. Yet another video after the break.

[Thanks, Armando]
