Q80T Constant screen flicker with certain apps

Just some background - I've had this TV for almost a year now, no problems. We've had a Switch hooked up to it for about a month, no other devices hooked up to it. 

Two days ago certain streaming apps started to show a constant flicker. I *think* there may have been a firmware update (it's on 2101). Currently the flicker occurs in Amazon Prime Video or Disney+ but only with some content (tested Hawkeye, Book of Boba Fett and Wheel of Time tonight - all flicker, Yellowjaxkets didn't).

I have no issues with Samsung TV, Netflix, Hulu or YouTube so far. I can't find anything in the settings that had an impact. Self troubleshooting menu, everything displayed fine for the various tests. I don't think I missed anything. A solution would be great, but I'd settle for a way to rollback the last update and fix this issue.

Same problem with QE85QN95A

I just wanted to update this since a couple people have claimed to have similar experiences. Despite not hearing back from support, the issue did resolve on its own and has yet to return. I still have concerns that it may be signs of a power board issue, but as of yet, the television does seem to be functioning properly.

I have the same problem with my Samsung TU7020 TV purchased last year. It emerged last week with Amazon Prime. Tried various suggested online fixes with no success.

Suggestions welcome.

Thanks!

I have the exact same problem with Disney+, Netflix and Prime but only only certain higher quality content. Has anyone solved this? Not very happy with a TV that's 18 months old and cost a lot of money.
