I've been dealing with some odd image retention on my monitor lately, and I've tried a bunch of troubleshooting steps without much luck. I've switched refresh rates, tested different resolutions, used another cable and port, adjusted brightness and contrast, and even installed the latest monitor and GPU drivers. However, I still have the issue. I haven't yet tried using another PC, a full Windows reset, or doing a complete uninstall and reinstall of my GPU drivers. Interestingly, this problem doesn't occur in BIOS or safe mode, and it doesn't happen on my second monitor under normal conditions. But I do notice some flickering that seems random, often happening during gaming sessions. I'm starting to wonder if it could be a driver issue or something else. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

It sounds like you've covered a lot of ground already! One easy possibility could be a faulty cable—sometimes even new ones can have issues. Since you mentioned it happens when there's static content on the screen, that could indicate something about how the display is handling those images. Have you tried switching to a different cable, like going back to HDMI if you’re using DisplayPort? Also, the flickering might hint at a driver issue, especially if it’s game-specific. Make sure your GPU drivers are current. Are there any specific games where this happens more often?
