Flickering Screen

[George Salomon]

Screen flickers particularly when I use Discord but have also experienced it with Minecraft. Occasionally have issues with misplaced pixels in slack and mozilla firefox, but much less frequently with firefox. Only have experienced pixels being misplayed whilst being on vox and maybe one or two others I'm forgetting, have not had any issues when using most websites.
