Hey there,
Lenovo Slim i7, 14AP7, model 82SX0002US (Intel i7-1260P, Iris XE 96EU). 2.8K (2880x1800) 90Hz.

Recently I've noticed an odd artefact on my screen: sometimes I see these reddish-greenish lines near random objects on my screen. It's especially noticeable between the words either in documents or movies. Once I move the cursor near those lines, some of them disappear. And reappear when I move the cursor away. The problem doesn't occur all the time: when I browse or type something in Google Docs, it seems perfectly alright (apart from comments in Google Docs -- for some reason they're also sometimes affected); It mostly happens when I play Fallout 4 (subtitles only) or watch videos (both youtube and mediaplayer).

As far as I understand, it doesn't appear on the entire screen, but on the middle, central third of the screen. Idk, hope somebody knows what's going on.

Btw, I have calibrated the color profile of the screen (downloaded from notebookcheck). But reversing it to the standard profile yielded no results(

PS sorry for the pic. Screenshot appears normal so I had to capture it with a camera.
