sparkly screen issue with nvidia only?

I have the sz160. I noticed on the desktop or any windows(not windowed programs, but stuff like IE) I see white specks flickering in certain colors like blue,lt grey, but not white or brown or black.
Any idea why?
I dont see that issue with the "stamina" mode.

 

ok this happens on other screens too. Like photoshop.

 

So anybody else having this issue? It almost looks like static on the screen. its white pixels randomly flashing on the screen. On a scale of 1-100 and 100 being "snow" on your screen, its like a 1 or a 2. But if you stare at your screen, you'll constantly see it flashing

 

The "flashing" you refer to most likely has something to do with the refresh rate, and it's normal. The "sparkle" is an issue that most LCD's have to varying degrees. Apparently it's inherent to the way the LCD is manufactured. Nothing you can do about it, i'm afraid, other than to not stare at it so intently.

 

ok I thought this would happen with my wording. not sparkling from the glossy screen. sparkling like the pixels are blinking. its individual pixels randomly flashing to what appears to be white. Like tv snow, but very little. you have to look at the screen closly becuase it does flash on/off fast and its random over the screen.

 

yeah, mine happens with the intel video, not nvidia. It only started within the last month or so. I tried changing drivers, but nothing fixed it.

 

I think I remember your post. its fine speckles of pixels flashing all over, yeah?

 

exactly. it's evident especially on grayish backgrounds like in MS Paint.

 

Is it within warranty? Sounds like you need to contact Sony for a repair, or at least give tech support a go.

 

something similar happened to my old vaio...i sent it back for repairs and i got it back and an explanation that said my graphics card was overheating and giving me display artefacts, or something along those lines...if you can, send it back and get it fixed...

 

Yeah... I was just hoping someone knows of a fix b4 I called them. I really didnt want to be without my laptop. Or for Sony to tell me to format my laptop .

 

btw...I'm still having this issue on the Intel graphics, but when I use an external screen it doesn't do it. When I'm done with my college semester in a couple weeks I'm going to look into getting it serviced I guess...
