I have been getting monitor tearing time to time, even with windows. It wasn’t occurring often, and I could fix it by turning the monitor off and on, so I have been sleeping on it.
A few days ago, it began tearing like crazy, and it happens after turning the monitor on for a few minutes. It came to the point where the computer is nearly unusable, so I want to solve the issue once and for all.
How do I go with resolving a monitor tearing issue? Or, is it the faulty monitor? The issue also happens on Windows, after all…
I would assume they have two monitors connected and when the tearing occurs on the problem monitor, their second monitor flickers.
This is the problem with assuming, there’s nothing in their notes about having a second monitor connected at the same time as the one that is tearing. This possibility didn’t even occur to me, but it’s plausible.
edit: literally a minute after I reply, OP confirms you are correct in your assumption.
