Gaming Monitor "Screen Tearing"
4.5
The image looks like it is split or shifted horizontally during fast movement.
Symptoms
- Horizontal lines
- Split image
- Visual glitches
Possible Causes
- FPS mismatch with refresh rate
- V-Sync disabled
- Bad DisplayPort cable
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Enable V-Sync
In game settings, turn on Vertical Sync to match FPS to monitor Hz.
2
Use G-Sync or FreeSync
Enable variable refresh rate in your GPU control panel.
3
Cap Frame Rate
Set a max FPS slightly below your monitor's refresh rate (e.g., 141 FPS for 144Hz).
When to See a Technician
Screen tearing happens when the GPU sends a new frame while the monitor is still drawing the old one.
