A few lines of pixels at the bottom of Acer VG270 behave strangely.

Hello Everyone,

I have recently noticed a bizarre behavior from my 1-year-old VG270 monitor.

Sometimes when I turn on my computer, the monitor is flickering on the bottom (A few lines of pixels at the bottom behave strangely). 

When I move an application window to the bottom of the monitor, the weird behavior stops; also, when I open the File Explorer in full screen, the weird behavior stops.

I found that if I change the refresh rate to 75Hz from NVIDIA Control Panel, the issue disappears. 

This flickering also decreases as time passes / when I restart my pc multiple times. 

The monitor is connected to "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super" video card using the Display Port cable that came with the monitor.

The current video card driver is "GeForce Game Ready Driver Version 528.24". [I updated the driver to the latest version as I thought it might be a driver issue, but the updated driver didn't fix the problem.]

If anyone has a clue to what a possible fix could be, it would be very appreciated.
