Portions of my laptop screen and active windows will flicker and glitch.

Depending on what color wallpaper I am using different areas of my screen will have "zones" where I move windows into that will start this flickering the toolbar and the current active window.

In the video below the current background is very dark. The effected zone is the left boundary.
When I change my wallpaper to something with more color the top left portion of my screen is effected.

Here's a video:

Is your laptop currently under warranty? If it is, I'll suggest contacting Asus about RMA. If your warranty period has expired here's what's likely going on... somewhere power to the LCD is being lost (not complete but some power loss, may be less than 1v lost), it could be due to a pinched cable, a loose connection, or something else even. I'm going to suggest connecting to an external monitor to see if the flickering occurs there also (I'm betting it doesn't) also try the screen at different angles, if a cable issue or connection, that may offer a temporary cure.

I almost want to say it's not a hardware problem because it's only windows resources that flicker. ie: toolbar. The wallpaper area stays fine. It's not the entire screen, if that makes sense.
