Fénix 5x screen flickering

Is there anyone who has this little flicker on the screen? Is seen with any type of light (sunlight or indoor) and with the backlight off on the clock. it's a small flickering, but the screen of my fenix3 is completely fix compared with the screen of the fenix 5x

SN xxx17, if I really look hard when I have a white background and the backlight is off... it's faint enough that I can't tell if my eyes are playing tricks or it's flickering. I have to look hard. And I use a black watch face. I don't think there's anything going on here that's an issue for me.

Mine is 56Gxxx36 and after reading this post I was sure flickering doesn't exist, but it actually does. It is hardly visible, you have to look very carefully, so I decided to ignore that unless it would get worse.

I have both FR935 and F5 and both suffer from flickering. Is not noticeable unless you keep the watch at a certain angle and for sure F3 didn't had this issue. I guess is a hardware thing and I can't see any fix for it.

My serial number ends in xx37x and does not have any flickering issues

EDIT****
After updating to Beta 2.96 there is a definite screen flicker that wasn't noticed before. Seems to be most pronounced under artificial indoor lighting and with lighter font colors on my CIQ face
