failing monitor?

I'm pretty sure i have a failing monitor, but would like someone who would know a bit better what ive got going on.

I have a 2 monitor setup, but the 2nd monitor runs off the igp. i would switch them, but the 2nd monitor has a vga plug only.

the primary monitor on dvi is getting some intermittent artifacting. scrolling down on a page really brings it out, but not necessarily. the bottom of the screen flickers and goes nuts and seems to be displaying a zoomed in view of the screen.

ive also been getting horizontal lines (the full height) and vertical lines ( 2 or 3 pairs across the screen). they dont black out, but probably just a repeat of the pixels beside them.

also the lines just went away, but not the screen craziness when scrolling.

any ideas?

thanks,
 
welp, fixed it by turning on overscan in the gpu settings, as i was trying to figure out the flicker.

what does that mean. is everything broken?
