okay so I recently built a new pc, before that I had a laptop with an extra monitor attached via vga, I built my pc and used the extra as the only monitor using a dvi. in the game stick fight I started noticing lines that start at the bottom of the screen and going up. then in many other games like pubg I notices that if I move the camera fast then I kinda see a similar effect, not as noticeable but there and annoying.

an imgur link to a 4 second video showing it on stick fight: https://imgur.com/a/xXo3L

I believe this is the monitor because when i take screenshots through steam they don't have the issue. what could the issue be? i have some other monitors in the house that i can try.

my build incase it matters. the monitor is a refurbished dell that we have had for years.

note: I didn't notice this issue when I was using it with my laptop, but I also never played games on that monitor to know. Thanks in advance

oh and I guess what is some good gaming monitors for near or below $100, 20''+ perfered, and idk if there is a way to get 144hz in that range.
