So, I have a acer nitro 5 AN515-57. Sometimes while working the display malfunctions( I have attached the file below showing the issue). This is a recurring problem, especially after the Win 11 update. Any idea whether this is a software or hardware issue? And how to fix it?
Kindly help.

Does it happens when you are running any application?
Are you able to restart your PC?
Does it back to normal after the restart?
I usually don't need to restart it, since it automatically gets fine after like 10 seconds
It usually occurs when I am browsing the web.

This just happened to my Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57. This is a brand new computer, I bought it because my other Acer Nitro 5 AN515-44 started having screen flickering issues. Is this just the brand that has these problems?
I've never had issues like this until I started using this model. Acer was one of the biggest brands I used growing up, I still have my old laptop from 2012 - it has a lot of issues but it didn't have screen issues.
From your screenshot, I believe this is issue with your graphic card driver.
Try update Windows and update your Graphic Card driver and see if the problem persist.
So, I updated my driver, but still the issue persists along with some other graphical issues
. The laptop is still under warranty. Should I go for it?
I would see if you can narrow it down at all. Like reboot and go to your BIOS/UEFI options and just stay on that page for a moment. You don't need to DO anything in the BIOS, this is just testing to see if the screen works fine when Windows is not running.
If it's fine there, then you know your hardware itself is functional and the issue can probably be resolved with a driver update or finding the offending software failure.
So, I did it and it didn't occur.
But the device usually runs fine for much time even when using windows. Just that sometimes
this error happens and then corrects itself after 10 sec. After it corrects itself, then when I watch videos on the internet, the image is slightly displaced looking as if it's leaking red or blue colours.
Here's an attachment showing the same:
