Hi there,

I have the problem that the iPad ist flickering if I connectet my MacBook Air 6.2 over Sidecar.

Please take a look at the youtube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN2pjfSedQ8&feature=youtu.be

Is there any possibility to fix this problem?

Same problem here with MacBook Pro Retina 13, early 2015. Any hints to fix this artefacts and flickering?

As I understand it's not fixable. It seems to be the reason apple did not bring this feature to our old devices in the first place: They do not have the hardware-encoding needed to do this in a fast and flicker free way.

@svenzimmermann, I have the same Mac model with an iPad Pro 10.5" 2017. I would suggest just using duet, its free as long as you tether with your Mac, or $20 a year if you wan't wireless but that kills battery pretty fast.
