A flickering, flashing, or blinking monitor or Odyssey Ark Gaming Screen is often caused by a loose or damaged cable, a faulty power source, nearby appliances with a high current, out-of-date drivers, or the refresh rate setting on your computer. You can try fixing your flickering monitor by checking for these potential issues, and by making sure you have the latest software updates.
