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…

    if it happens over multiple operating systems, its either an insane coincidence or hardware issue. however, if you are lucky, the hardware that is broken is only the cable or only a specific port. i suggest trying different cable and port combos, on both GPU & motherboard and Screen (if your screen has multiple ports)

    1 - It comes from the graphical displaying.

    So it could be either hardware graphical related (aka GPU or display) or software graphical related.

    2 - It doesn’t seem to come from driver or software issue since Windows didn’t work.

    So it’s surely related to hardware, display or GPU. If it’s a desktop as other said you could try to change the output port of your display on your GPU…

    Perhaps you could build some sort of large Fresnel lens to place in front of it that would correct for it.

    Which distro? Switch to Wayland, I’ve only experienced screen tearing with Xorg. Edit, it’s probably your hardware.

    You can press PrtSc to take a screenshot.

    Edit: Apparently, rendering issues often don’t get included in a screenshot, which is definitely different than I expected. So, screenshots may or may not be viable for this context. If the latter, then apologies. 👍
