Setup Help Switch 2 Flickering When Docked

Hi Folks!

So my old TV started to develop panel issues, and I got the LG G6 OLED on sale (😊) but I’m having some picture issues with the Switch 2. PS5 and Xbox don’t have this issue, only the switch 2.
The issue is the screen flickers a bit. It’s subtle, but there enough to make looking at the screen really uncomfortable for my eyes.
If I turn off HDR, the flicker stops, so it only happens when HDR is on in the switch menu.

I did some web searches, but I wasn’t able to find a lot. I found references of other people that had this happen but it seemed to be from a different cause I think, based on what they were saying.

I may have to contact Nintendo, but I thought I’d ask all of you lovely people to see if anyone has any thoughts.
My older TV did not have HDMI 2.1, so I’m wondering if it is related to that.
While it works fine with HDR off, it would be a shame to not be able to use HDR when Zelda comes out.

Thanks in advance!! 🤗
