** Almost like what I imagine a screendoor effect is like (never tried vr to see what it really looks like).
** It's super fine, like pixel level. Almost looks like a filter overlaid on top of the image.
** It seems to be at the monitor level because it comes and goes.
** My monitor is 1440p, freesync, 165hz. I've got GTR2 limited to 90fps. I have it on fastest pixel response time and racing gaming mode. Not sure if any of those variables cause it.
