Display Controller and Video modes
Display controller
The display controller interprets software commands into hardware 
commands that turn particular parts on the screen on or off.
The display controller also controls the video mode and uses industry 
standard rules to govern the screen resolution and the maximum number of 
colors that can be displayed at any one time. Therefore, software written for 
a given video mode will run on any computer that supports that mode.
Video modes
Video mode settings are configured via the Display Properties dialog.
To open the Display Properties dialog, click Start -> Control Panel -> 
Appearance and Personalization -> Personalization -> Display 
Settings.
Due to the display panel's increased resolution, lines may appear broken in 
when displaying images in full-screen text mode.
If you are running some applications (for example a 3D application or video 
playback and so on), you may see some disturbance, flickering or frame 
dropping on your screen.
If that occurs, adjust the resolution of display, lowering it until the screen is 
displayed properly. 
Disabling Windows

AeroTM may also help correct this issue.
