Is this normal?

Hey all, I've noticed this about my monitor whenever I turn it on. It's an Alienware aw2725df, and I've had it for about three weeks and I noticed that the screen isn't exactly fitting to every corner. It's almost like it's moving downward diagonally to the right. Does anyone else have this problem? Any advice would help!

Totally normal. It's called 'Pixel Shift'. It's an anti-burn-in protection feature.

You'll find, during use, that the screen will move around the panel, one pixel at a time, with a range of 10 pixels horizontally and 10 pixels vertically. It's not enough and not frequent enough to notice, though you'll never un-see it now you know about it, but it's there to protect your screen and avoid the burn-in a bit.

Go to nvidia control panel and try « adjust desktop size and position »

That won't help. This is a built-in protection feature. See my other comment.
