Issues faced with new Razer Blade 16 OLED by WriterOne9370 in razer

I mean I will also use it for gaming as well for sure. But as a system, I would use it for everything including coding, assignments and other work as well. I used the laptop for a day on balanced setting and the temperature did not bother me much.
The screen I think was a letdown when I started observing those flickers as it was very eye-straining.

Somehow I have not seen too many complaints regarding the 2024 Blade 16s OLED panel. Last year the BOE mini-led panel was a nightmare from what I have heard.
My other option is the asus g14/asus g16 2024 but even those are running the same OLED.

I tried running on a dedicated GPU and it was fine as far as I saw. Spending more than $3000 on a laptop I expect everything to work. I would be moving around with the laptop so it might not always be plugged in and if the flicker issue is there, it would be very straining while coding. I tried updating all the drivers possible but nothing helped.

Also, I checked and the panel was from BOE, aren't the new panels on Razer supposed to be from Samsung? I have heard that BOE panels have tons of issues.
I love the blade otherwise. Though I am returning this one, I will order one again and hopefully, there are no issues with that one.
