If you're right, the monitor is broken or it's a video card-related phenomenon.
This is mine;
$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 2160, maximum 32767 x 32767 DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-4 connected primary 3840x2160+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 597mm x 336mm 3840x2160 60.00*+ 29.98 2560x1440 59.95 1920x1200 59.88 1920x1080 60.00 59.94 29.97 1680x1050 59.95 1600x1200 60.00 1600x900 60.00 1280x1024 60.02 1280x800 59.81 1280x720 60.00 59.94 1024x768 60.00 800x600 60.32 720x480 59.94 640x480 59.94 59.93 DP-5 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
In any case, using it beyond the upper limit indicated by xrandr is a problem.
I have no idea where that's coming from but there's a new twist that popped up possibly on the last boot (just noticed it). NB: "I" haven't changed a thing! I'd have to stay up nights on end to do something like this on purpose, the left set now has three, just like that woman in the original Total-Recall movie and I get it only on one desktop in one activity. Other desktops/activities give veriable results: Desktop-1 Activity-1 (using to write this) https://imgur.com/CI6666c.png Desktop-1 Activities 2, 3 & 4 only the two pairs on the left Desktop-2 & 3 &4 Activity-1 NOTHING Activity 2 & 3 only the two pairs on the left Activity-4 NOTHING I get dizzy! Still, GPU cards only do what they are 'told' to do...
