I recently re-installed windows 7. Before the install I would get screen tear but turning on or off vsync in game usually solved this, screen tear has never really been an issue for me if so it has been very minor. After my install I now notice I have screen tear not just in my games but youtube videos and when i play videos using vlc. So basically everything. I have tried all the different settings on my nvidia card (adaptive, on, off ect) globally and for specific programs with vsync on and off in game in conjunction with all the different settings. Sometimes i see improvement on screen tear, maybe it will occur at the top of the screen sometimes the middle sometimes the bottom after a setting change but always still there. I can't get rid of it at all when using youtube or vlc however settings changes seem to have zero effect. I have a 60hz LED panasonic TV TXL37E30B to be specific and my nvidia settings set to 60hz and windows set to 60hz... I am completely baffled. 1 thing though is when my computer boots it displays at 50hz on bios screen, can't seem to find a setting in bios to change refresh rate. But when it gets to windows my TV promptly tells me it has switched to 60hz so don't think this is the issue. I am baffled, hence forum 
please help!
