    What OS are you using? What software is playing the media?

    If possible, disable compositing in full screen to see if it helps.

    Could also be a framerate / frequency issue.

    Have you checked your display setting to verify it is at the proper/system preferred resolution/frequency? IE 1920x1080 @ 60hz not 1600x900 @59.8hz or something.

      I use Linux and the VLC player for playback. But the problem shows up with everything that happens on the screen, even when I move windows etc.

      Yes, I have tried all the settings on my screen. So I think it must be something with the hardware.
