i have been having this weird display glitch where the pixels distort a little in some applications, not sure if it is the monitor or the laptop because i have tried two monitors and it still happens.
examples: 
it also happens with some games, the only one i could spot was BeamNG drive though.

Thread was edited to add model name to the title

    4. Resetting the PC will reinstall Windows, change settings back to their factory defaults and remove all preinstalled apps and programs without removing your personal files. Click Reset to continue.
    5. You will be shown the reset progress on the screen. The screen will turn off during the reset process.
