Pixel/dot walk

So a couple days ago I picked up an Asus G75VX and I noticed that it suffers from dot walk in the LCD screen (embedded image seems to flicker).

I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to LCD screens but I'm aware that it's usually a result of the LCD not being calibrated properly. It's really not that bad as it is now, but I'm worried it may get worse. Any ideas?

just curious...do you mean flickering when you scroll the page down? Cause that is happening to me as well. What should I do? Should I adjust my interp? Someone please respond...

It's not an issue with your settings; apparently it's a faulty LCD panel. You know you have it when you look at the picture and it seems to "flicker" or move.

If you scroll down and get still issue though it's not a faulty LCD panel. It's completely normal because the human eye is sluggish.

I'm not sure what he means by the scrolling bug, but what I'm talking about it flickering on that image or the pixel inversion test ( www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/inversion.php ). It wouldn't bug me if it was only there, but you can see the flicking on almost any dark background, including the steam window.

what the fuck is dot walk? also i get the scrolling flicker too. im pretty sure there is nothing wrong with your brand new monitor.

edit: nvm about dot walk thing. clicked that page you linked in your other post to test it. I get that too, but my laptop screen works perfectly fine, since i never look at images like those normally

Yeah it wouldn't bug me if it didn't seem to flicker when I had my steam window open. I'm still debating returning the laptop. Only other options are the GT70 (which has shit cooling; 1 fan to cool the gpu and cpu) and the M17x (terrible build quality). :S

Pixel walk/inversion is something that happens to all LCD monitors. Some of them are worse than others. Certain patterns will be less noticeable when on even numbered pixel rows, and others will be less noticeable on odd numbered pixel rows. Try dragging your window down a pixel and see if it goes away. If it doesn't, there's nothing else you can do for it. It's most likely not a monitor defect.

Do you have your gpu overclocked? Try setting it to default if it is.
