I thought I would post as I have spent a few weeks wondering what an issue which was causing the screen to intermittently flicker and jolt (like, every few seconds) making every game unplayable - I finally found the issue.
I have a stable 60mb internet connection, so I knew it was unlikely to be that.
It wasn't windows trying to fix blurriness - so I was stuck for a while.
The issue was in using dual screens, in duplicate screen mode. I am using a Surface Pro 7, which I then duplicate to a much bigger monitor for gaming on Stadia and other services. Changing this from "duplicate these displays" to "extend these displays" resolved the problem and its now working better than ever ![]()
Might be obvious for some, but thought I would post in case it helped someone, somewhere!
Hi @RXShorty
Glad to share, I spent a lot of time going around forums for an answer, so if it saves someone that hassle that's great!
I am not entirely sure what caused it to be honest.
My monitor isn't a proper gaming monitor, its a Lenovo T24i-10 - https://www.lenovo.com/ao/en/monitors/t24i which I use for both work and home.
One of the first things I tried was changing the resolution from the 2736x1834 to 1920x1080 on the Surface Pro, but it didn't make any difference. I experimented with changing a few settings around, even tried a different browser (Opera) but nothing helped until I extended the displays.....
In my untrained mind, I just thought it must have been some kind of conflict between the 2 screens when in duplicate mode which resolved itself when they were separated?
Hi @CaptainSnip,
Thanks for sharing your solution.
Did the gaming monitor has a higher resolution?
Myself I own a Surface Pro 7 with a Lenovo screen which is just HD and seems to be working just fine.
Just wondering what the trigger could be for this problem.
Again thank you for sharing! ![]()
