Faint vertical lines in some grey shades : do you see it too ?

[Pierre990429]

Hello all,
I know there have already been topics concerning the G750's screen. I'd just want to know if others are also seeing a pattern of dark vertical lines in some shades of grey or sometimes other dark colors.
It's only visible when you look close to the screen. I have a G750JH (so a 780M) and I am using the stock 311.83 drivers (which are working well otherwise and have never crashed).
I got an AUO matte screen (non-3D).

I tried the 326.80 and 327.23 drivers : with these, the effect seemed different : not really vertical lines, but more a "grid" effect. So I reverted.
Again, it's only visible on some specific colors/shades.
It has, I think, nothing to do with the "other" line problem (horizontal "waves") where people just created a custom refresh rate for the monitor. (for example, I'm at 70 Hz)

Yeah, I have sensitive eyes.

So, is it the screen, the GPU, or the drivers ?

It's a pity I like the screen of my 2005 Dell XPS M170 much more...

Waiting for your feedback.

Hi. I'm from German. Bought the Asus G750JH before 2 months. The Panel is the AUO. And i coukd see thus vertikal, fine lines between the subpixels. My Eyes are very sensitive, too. But my wife didn't see it. I see the Lines very clearly at a white Background, like in Windows Explorer. It's not a driver issue, its the panel himself, you can't solve it. But what you could, is to change the panel. But think about the warranty...

Schade, eine so teure Kiste und dann dieser ScheissBildschirm.
I want to change the panel, indeed. Searching for the exact procedure.

Aha, we have found the common contributing factor, German Beer!!

I have stocked up on Paulaner Hefewizen, Tucher Kristaff Weizen and Dunkles Hefe, and I will pick up some more before the weekend, to make sure I don't run out of German Beer before I see the faint vertical lines! 🙂

Pierre,

i thought it's was impossible, but test the new nvidia 331.65 WHQL of the official Geforce.com Site. i Installed it today, and it seems it is very better than before.

I din't see the lines. Have pot the digital color adjustetment to 60%, and now it's ok.

Edit: ok, i can see the lines furthermore, but now only a little bit on grey background. But it disturb me not much.

Hello Mirovb,

please check the previous pages of this thread : I already realized that the 326.80 driver was modifying the lines and transforming the line pattern into a "grid" : looks like there are "little dots" in the textures. Could you please check and see if it isn't the case with 331.65 ?

Some people report troubles with 331.65 (boot delay) ; did you experience it ?


(in case you wonder : I'm French, but I speak other languages as well)

[Pierre990429]

Ok, tested 331.65.

1) the vertical lines in some greys are still there.
2) just launched A New Dawn, to test speed and GPU temp behavior, and it wouldn't start in full screen anymore and was slow ( and it's a Nvidia Demo !!!)

>> Back to 311.83 (system restore point)

Thread's a bit old, but I wanted to report the exact same problem - and yes, unless you are far away from the screen it's clearly visible - on a Dell M6600 machine with a 7970M. So not an nVidia issue.

Shame, I fit into this category with my brand new ASUS G750JZ 😞 Why me!
Linear, most visible in Windows and less in games as there is more going on.
Also some kind of rainbow waves horizontal raindow feel.
But to be honest, I had 5 x G75 (3 different models, from 2 different stores) and 1x G750, they all had that.

I see you found this thread.
Well, that settles it : the new G750 are also affected.
Can you tell me what is the "default" Nvidia driver version ?

On the latest ones, the lines are transformed into "grids" (or "little squares").

Just to tell you : this is not screen related; Must be a motherboard and/or Geforce chip issue.
But I never saw it described on Alienware forums, for example.

There are plenty of mentions of faint lines on Alienware screens too 🙂
