Screen Flickering Issues in InDesign on Mac with External Monitors

For the last week, I have noticed that my screen flickers when working in InDesign. As I click within the document, the screen will flicker, and at times, it goes completely black.  I have 2 external monitors, and the flickering happens on both monitors.

 

I have read through the forum and tried turning off the GPU Performance in preferences, but that only made things worse. I also tried turning off the page ruler and that made no difference. Finally, I updated to the latest version of Sonoma (14.6.1) in case there was a bug fix. Nothing has worked.

 

Please help! I work in InDesign 95% of my day and the screen flickers are giving me headaches - not to mention incredibly annoying.

 

I have a Mac Mini

Apple M2 Pro

Sonoma 14.6.1

 

Both monitors are:

ASUS ProArt Display PA278QV Professional Monitor - 27-inch, IPS,
QHD (2560 x 1440), 100% sRGB, 100% Rec. 709, Color Accuracy
ΔE < 2, Calman Verified, ProArt Preset, ProArt Palette

 

InDesign 19.5

 

Thank you for your help!

What if you disconnect both monitors? 

 

Have you updated anything in your system before it started?

Nothing had been updated or changed when it started.

 

I disconnected both monitors, waited a few minutes and then connected again and am still having the flickering.

I meant if it always happen - with or without monitors.

 

Can you check with only one monitor at a time?
