    I'm having a problem with my W520 when connected to an external monitor. I tried it with a DisplayPort and VGA cables on two monitors, so I know it's my computer.

    There is an offset in the image when there is a lot of horizontal movement. I first noticed it during a video, but figured out i could replicate it by simply sliding a window side to side.

    The line is about 1-2" from the top of the screen. It actually starts about 1/4" from the top and then moves down. I took a video to show what I'm talking about:

    VID00012 - YouTube

    What is this called, and what can be causing it? Thanks!!

    Nevermind, I restarted and it fixed itself somehow... I don't get it. Maybe someone has an explanation.
