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…
It wasn’t at all clear that you had a 2nd monitor connected, that is also useful information. Still, not enough data to really know.
Are both monitors the same make and model? If not, then it seems likely there’s an issue with your GPU or HDMI cable, but the symptoms are different because the monitors are manufactured by different companies. If the monitors are identical to each other, then we’re back to most likely being an issue with the 1st monitor.
