Watch for changes in the lights when you rise from your seat.

The room's humidity is around average. The floor beneath the chair feels solid and stable. Yes, you can test each device separately to see if the monitor flickers.
humidity: unclear information. The floor isn't obvious—its material isn't visible, but it resembles the image at https://imgur.com/a/q3VDC. It doesn’t seem to be carpet. I’m not sure. Recently, I got a new chair, and the switch might have triggered the flickering. It’s hard to say if this was always happening before; I haven’t really noticed it in the past two weeks.
Certainly, I can adjust the surroundings and relocate the PC and monitor to a different setting to check if the problem persists.
Consider adjusting your position a bit farther from the screen and shifting your hand in and out of it. You might also attempt to generate a charge by moving around in the chair; if simple hand movement isn’t enough, try different motions. Keep an eye on the return window for warranty claims.
Reminder: I’m checking if the device has a floating ground issue or improper assembly. A display component could be very sensitive to electrical noise.

Additional info
While shifting in the chair, the screen began to flicker. I attempted to stand up by rubbing my arms and legs against the chair, noticing a noticeable current flow through me, including a slight shock at my left fingertips. The monitor also started to flicker, confirming the presence of ESD. This situation relates to grounding issues—would you know if a specific power cable is available for that purpose? Perhaps a strip or similar? My connection is via a wall outlet, and I reside on the 11th floor. The electrical panel appears outdated, dating back to the 1990s. By the way, I detected a faint noise in my headphones during the flickering episodes. PS: I tried lowering the monitor’s frequency to 144 hz, but it didn’t resolve the issue. Opening the window briefly seemed to help as well.
