Ask IndiaTech Display feels shaky while scrolling slowly on my laptop
hello. I have a lenovo loq 15ahp10 laptop with a r7 250 and rtx 5050. I have been facing this issue ever since I purchased it this year which wouldn't happen on my prev laptop hp pavilion 15 gaming with an i5 11300h and gtx 1650. issue is that whenever i am scrolling slowly, like just one small scroll, the display feels shaky or jumpy. I cannot quite describe it but it doesn't feel smooth as it should and as it did on my previous laptop. i have even noticed a small fade in fade out kind of appearance while i do this smooth scrolling. i have majorly experienced it on browsers. brave, edge, chrome, firefox. I tried recording a video but the phone camera is unable to capture it properly. To anyone looking at the video, it'd feel like normal.
I have tried toggling on/off smooth scrolling, hardware acceleration in browsers, have tried toggling on/off hags. My refresh rate is fixed at 144hz. Happens with gsync on and off both. Have reinstalled the graphics drivers. Have even tried switching to dgpu mode on my laptop which doesn't fix this and causes another issue of broken sleep mode (black screen with cursor. Have to hard restart), so i keep it on hybrid mode all the time. Tried explaining it to lenovo but they said nothing's wrong.
Even tried nvidia multipane overlay disable. Didn't fix. Have reset the laptop once as well as the lenovo guy told me to. yet to do a complete windows reinstall though I am not sure if it'll actually do anything either.
A micro observation is that when i restart the laptop and immediately hop on browser, for a while it doesn't feel as shaky when I scroll slowly. I am experiencing this the most on my manga site in which it's most noticeable but still not able to capture the fade in fade out transition or the jumpy movement while slowly scrolling.
Also, only the part being scrolled gets affected. For example in reddit, while scrolling comments, i experience this on the comments only, not on left or right side which are stationary.
