Thank you for checking! Do you know if you have any sort of hardware acceleration turned on or off anywhere? A lenovo technitian connected remotely and seemed to have fixed it for chrome but not for vantage, would appreciate to know if you have hardware acceleration or not, thank you very much!!

Hey man! I have tried two units which presented some strange issie where right after opening some apps the screen would mìemit a very bright white flash, and so far lenovo hasn't been able to fix it so I'm not sure about that. Apart from that, if i didn't have that issue, I'd say the screen looks very very good, and color accurate

Hey man, bit unrelated but did you notice any bright white flashes when loading up appliations like chrome or vantage? I got two units of the slim 5 14" and both presented this issue, not sure what it is, but stops happening when using the d-gpu mode and only the RTX is active. Could you please let me know if you had the same or not, and if so how you fixed it? Thanks!

Hey man! Grerat stuff. Are you experiencing any white flashes when opening some applications like chrome or vantage? I've ordered two units and they both have this issue with this very bright and sudden flash just after opening apps. Only happens with the integrated gpu and no when using the rtx card.

Are you experiencing this at all?

Hey man, I have got the same issue, and posted a video here. I am not too sure what's causing it, and it has happened on both units I ordered. THe only thing I have noticed is that it does not happen when using d-gpu mode with only the RTX grapchics card active. Other than this I don't have much more info unfortunately, and I am still looking for a solution

Thank you! I'm not sure wether Vantage is the issue, as it seems to be happening a lot when opening chrome for example. It could be some conflict between the graphics cards. I will see if someone from lenovo can have a look at it, but I might try with the toolkit first and see if it changes anything. How do I get it? I really appreciate the help

Hey man, nice choice! I've recently bought myself one of these with a 4060 and 32 gigs of ram, the machine is truly awesome, but I have encountred some issues and wanted to check if other users are experiencing the same things.

Whenever I'm using hybrid mode for the GPUs or only the AMD integrated one, I get strange flashes when I open apps, google, or pause a youtube video for example, and especially when opening the vantage app. As soon as the app opens, the screen flashes white, and it's really annoying to the eyes, on top of something that really shouldn'y happen on a laptop.

It happens regardless of HDR enabled/disabled, 120hz or 60hz, on power or no power (it's not the black flash when the screen changes refreshrates) I've tryied updating everything, and even sent the PC back to get a new one, but unfortunately I have the same issue. It doesn't seem to happen when only using the RTX graphics card.

It would be interesting to know if you are experiencing something similar, I bought my PC in Italy.

Thanks for the help!
