Screen display is blurry or ripple effect when scrolling

I have a 15 inch 2.53 Pro and when I am in Safari the screen has a horizontal ripple effect across the screen when I am scrolling. This is slightly worse when I use the vertical scroll bar vs. two-finger scrolling. The overall effect is that the screen is slightly blurry and hard on the eyes to read until the scrolling is stopped. This is a new machine and I have just installed Word suite for students. Any suggestions? I have an iMac that is a few years old and this does not happen on it. Thanks.

Mine too have this on my new MBP ( September 2009).
It's more evident in Safari, but show also in finder while scrolling. It is not related to font antialiasing because enlarging page text in Safari (cmd +) the blurry effect is still there.
I'm very disappointed of lcd screen quality, too much fatigue to eyes.
Could be considered a screen hardware defect?

  • Screen ripple effect when scrolling after installing Mavericks?

    Since downloading Mavericks some three weeks ago, my screen ripples (wave effect) when scrolling.
    Dominic kindly responded a short time ago with the suggestion it could be Autocad update related.
    All traces of Autocad wiped from my machine but still experiencing this ripple effect when scrolling.
    Beginning to wish I had not updated to Mavericks.
    Help!!!

  • Getting ripple effect when scrolling in firefox on macbook pro

    only does it on firefox and not on safari

    Problems with scrolling can be caused by smooth scrolling that has been enabled by default in Firefox 13.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General: Browsing: "Use smooth scrolling"
    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Blurry letters on websites when scrolling in Firefox 19 (with either smooth scrolling enabled or disabled)

    Hello,
    Just recently I updated to Firefox 19, and since I had some problems when scrolling on websites: some of the lines/letters get blurred.
    I did some online research and found a tip of deactivating smooth scrolling, so I did that, re-started Firefox, but the issue was still not solved.
    I did not have this problem until the recent upgrade.
    Is this a known issue? Is there a solution to this?
    If not, how can I go back to the previous version of Firefox, I can only find download links to the latest version....
    Thanks,
    Lars

    Hi Lars, you said : ''EDIT: could it be that in the previous version of Firefox the hardware acceleration was disabled by default and in the latest version it's enabled by default? ''
    hardware acceleration is enable always in the versions, probably something with Bug 825205 - WebGL index validation fails when a large attribute buffer is bound, that fixed in new version see: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/19.0/releasenotes/
    ''Does this somehow mean I have an outdated graphics card? ''
    you can check it, but if working without problem with hardware acceleration was disabled, for me, leave it as it is. !
    thank again

  • Firefox Desktop 15.0.1 Displays Artifacts at bottom of page when scrolling up or down

    Black artifacts flickering at bottom of window when scrolling up or down. It is a black bar with no content, sometimes occupying 30% of bottom part of window.
    However, Microsoft offered an emergency fix-it for IE on September 20, 2012. This problem went away for few hours. Installing the critical update for IE allowed FF to run without this issue for two days after install on September 23rd.
    Why that would be, I cannot say.
    Have a screenshot of FF when this happens. Bar is very small ATM, but flickers just the same. Normal artifact extends from left side to right side; only a partial bar is caught with this screenshot.
    Where to attach screenshot?

    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • RIPPLE EFFECT when using mouse to click on scroll bar and scroll

    Has anyone else had this problem? I have tried 4 new 24" iMac's and ALL FOUR do this! When you click on the scroll bar and scroll down or up, there is a definite "ripple" in the window of what you are looking at. It's as if you put a steel rod under a sheet and pulled it up and down. It only happens when using the mouse to click and scroll. Not with the track ball, not with the arrows, not with the keyboard. I updated Safari, tried using Firefox instead, installed all the OS updates, but it still happens. So far no one in Support has a clue. The display models at the stores didn't do it, but my guess is they are from an older shipment...so maybe this is an anomaly with imac's shipped after April 10.
    Try it on your computer and see if it happens. If so, we need to all let Apple know there needs to be a fix.

    HI,
    Quit Safari.
    Go here: MacintoshHD/Library/Preferences and locate this file.
    com.apple.windowserver.plist
    Drag that file to the Desktop. Launch Safari and see if the scroll functions as it should. If it's ok, drag that file to the trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

  • Is there a genuine IPad anti glare screen to reduce the reflection/mirror effect when using outdoors?

    The reflection in the IPad 4th generation retina screen when using outdoors or in bright light is very distracting. You look at yourself! Especially if using the pad on your knees.
    I have fitted the excellent Moshi clear protection screen, but this does not reduce the reflection. Amazon sell an anti glare screen for the IPad 2. Anyone found one that really works, or is this something we must put up with.

    Linehill again.  It seems that many users find the same problem, but no one has the answer! I have been experimenting with some ideas and have found wearing a black or very dark shirt makes a huge improvement if you are sitting down and hold the IPad on your thighs. Try it!

    I recently updated to Reader X 10.0.1.  Now when I scroll through a large document my entire screen blacks out for a few seconds.  So far it has recovered.  I get an error message saying that the NVidia nView driver (ver. 135.50) has stopped responding.  I am running Windows 7 Pro on an HP Laptop, feeding to a large Samsung monitor.  Never happened prior to this update.  Any fixes/ideas?

  • Firefox ripple lags when scrolling

    Firefox v22 running on windows 7.
    When casual browsing I get annoying ripples when i scroll up or down then when I stop scrolling it takes a millisecond to adjust...
    I've read others are having the same problem though couldn't find any answers.
    It's something you'd expect to see if you were using Firefox through a VNC installed on a machine with a 56k running on the other side of the world >_<

  • Display Ripple Effect

    Well I finally have Debian installed on the G3 iMac and everything seems to be working good except for a ripple effect when I drag a window or scroll up & down in the browser.
    It looks like a wavy motion or ripple. Do anybody know a solution? I've had this happen awhile ago but I can't remember what I did to fix it on a PC. I don't remember it doing this when I had Ubuntu installed.
    Any ideas?
    Thnx.

    I have started it from being off and same effects.
    I believe its more of a driver issue or maybe the horizontal/vertical rate numbers.
    Since I was installing Debian PPC Linux, a minimum install, I had to reinstall xorg because of another issue. Once I reinstall xorg, I was able to get gui but with this wavy/ripple effect.
    This happen once before with a x86 pc but I can't remember what I did to fix it at the time.
    Thnx.

  • Satellite Pro L450D - Slight ripple effect on external monitor

    I am hoping someone can help me. Have just bought a new Satellite Pro L450D and also bought a separate lcd screen (Viewsonic) to use with the laptop.
    When using the lcd screen there is a slight ripple effect across the background when you look at the screen which is not nice on the eyes. Its not the screen that has a problem as I have tried it on other pcs/laptops and its fine. Have also tried another screen on the laptop and the same problem occurs. However, this problem does not occur of the laptop screen itself.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this problem.
    Thank you

    Hi
    It seems that the native resolution of this screen is 1920 x 1080.
    I use the same resolution on my external wide screen monitor.
    But I have connected the external screen to my notebook using the DVI cable.
    I tried a HDMI cable but the picture on the external screen was not clear usign1920 x 1080. I have no idea why.
    Anyway I have tried the external monitors DVI port and the picture was perfect!
    Seems your monitor supports only RGB analog port.
    In order to view real HD videos, picture you would need an HDMI or DVI port.
    Of course its possible to use an RGB analog port as well, but there are differences in picture quality.

  • FF hangs when scrolling in what seems liketimes intervals. Happenest most on facebook but other sites as well. Alos will black screen and crash a lot.

    V. 28.0
    Happened on my old PC and this is a brand new one. Hang intervals seem to happen like clock work and last the same amount each time. Task manager shows FF as not responding during that time. Turning off hardware acceleration has helped with black screen to crash but the constant pausing when scrolling is driving me bonkers. Here are they last reports sent to you.

  • Poor graphics redraw when scrolling Word documents

    I have a strange blurring effect when scrolling Word documents on my Macbook pro, as if the graphic card had trouble refreshing: the screen is interspersed by horizontal irregular lines that make it impossible to read the text.
    I have recently replaced the logic board. Anyone has an idea of what this could be?
    Thank you for the help!

    I've only seen this in Word, and only in Page Layout view. It does not occur in Notebook view (although there are other stability issues with that view). At the moment I'm working on a 125 page document that I am writing, and scrolling through there are no problems.
