Have you been messing with any of the settings? refresh rate, screen resolution etc?

Does it improve/get worse if you move the screen in open/close directions?

Does it do it all the time or just in Windows?

If only in windows, it's most likely a driver issue or settings. If it does it when you're in the BIOS for instance, then you are looking at a hardware issue such as the graphics chip or the screen controller.
