    Hi everyone,

    I just bought an Refurbished Dell XPS 13 with FHD core i7 8GB 256Gb laptop. (Came with W 8.1 Pro) so I wiped the laptop clean and installed windows 10 Pro with all the drivers from Dell. I disabled windows automatic driver update just to be sure after all the issues with audio drivers.

    Problem is while i was setting it up i saw something very strange. While I am using YouTube and switching between full screen and normal screen I saw different variations of color distortion. For reference I took screenshots of it please find it attached.

    Is this anything related to Bad Display or problems with drivers ? If you guys think it hardware defect then I will return this as I got 20 days to return.

    I have a new I5 8gb touch version and also get those defects from time to time. I am using the default video drivers.

    Ok Thanks. So It seems to be driver issues which would be solved by updates. I just wanted to make sure my display wasnt bad !

    I'm not convinced its not a video card issue. Have you tried other drivers?
