Absolutely. I have a laptop with a 1080p screen that's like 15-inches and a 27-inch 1080p monitor that I connect to it.
When I scroll in MS Word, there is this insane black tearing across the white surface when I scroll, but only on the laptop monitor.
It's A WORD PROCESSOR! It's just a word processor... It's.... weeps
- max38 6y agoI have a similar setup, but experience no such issues. maybe it's specific to your hardware/drivers?
- bonestormii_ 6y agoMaybe, but I have drivers for the monitors and everything else factory default windows install. It’s some ASUS predator gaming laptop that I inherited, but it’s reasonably powerful.
- signal11 6y agoYou may need a driver for the laptop's video card. The 'tearing' you describe is very characteristic of Microsoft's generic display drivers, perhaps for some reason the OS was unable to auto-install the driver? Or the graphics card isn't being used for some reason? E.g., if your laptop has NVidia's Optimus[1], the graphics card may be inactive while Word's running. There's usually a way to force applications to use the GPU with Optimus. [1] https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/technologies/optimus/ https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/technologies/optimus/
- bonestormii_ 6y agoDefinitely have actual Nvidia drivers installed.
- PeterStuer 6y agoPredator is an Acer line, not ASUS. Are you sure Word is using the nVidia gpu and not the Intel (on processor) gpu?
- exikyut 6y agoIf you see this, a video of that would be interesting to see. (I'm not entirely certain where would be a good spot to post it in a support context though...)
