Poor display, constantly shifting and unstable.
Hello everyone, I own a Predator PH315-51 2018 gaming laptop and its screen has been flickering lately, getting worse over time. I tried reinstalling the GPU drivers, cleaning the heatsink, and re-seating the pin on the monitor, but the issue persists. What should I do? Should I replace the monitor, like Linus did in this video?
Do you have an additional display such as a second monitor or TV? Connect the HDMI cable and check if the problem persists on that screen. If yes, it could be related to software or your GPU. If not, the issue might be with your screen or the connector. Try reducing the refresh rate to 60; this may temporarily resolve the problem. Also, if you have an Optimus (or similar) switch, consider turning it off or on.
I also have a secondary screen connected, but it isn't functioning properly. The main display appears to be using the GTX1060 GPU with the specified video file.
(The video is not loading properly loading as a audio clip) If that is the case it is more than likely is the screen. But you can try going into bios and changing the mux switch (Maybe a option exist in acer control software prob called dedicated gpu only mode or something) setting bcz it is a Helios it maybe has one. if you cant see it in bios clicking Ctrl+S will reavel the hidden options. If you have warrenty they likely change the screen for free. You can find replacement screens for 50$ on ebay and it is a worthwile replair if you are ok with the specs.
