XR glasses flickering or going black
- Cable. Flicker when you move your head points to the cable or connector; try another certified cable.
- Power. Plug in the laptop or use a powered adapter; blackouts under load are a power symptom.
- Refresh rate. Try 60 Hz. If flicker stops, the link can't hold the higher rate through that port or adapter.
- Proximity sensor. Many glasses blank when they think they're off your face.
- Windows sleep/screen-off timers apply to the glasses.
- Variable refresh (G-Sync/FreeSync) can cause blinking; turn it off for that display.
