Question: The image you supplied was a saved image/processed one?
1) If so, then it is not a hardware issue, it is a software one. The software does not care what kind of hardware you have to view the image, it processed it based on the setting in the program itself. There is an exception to this rule with respect to some image processing products. PS can use the GPU to perform processing tasks. If the GPU is faulty, it could affect your images. That said, I'm not aware of PS using embedded GPU's on laptops. PS tends to use the high end desktop cards for GPU processing.
2) If not (i.e. a screen capture) then is *MAY* be a hardware issue, as print screen grabs the bit state from the video memory buffer and dumps it as a RGB sequence. If the memory is corrupt, faulty or otherwise compromised, then you can get artifacts in the image.
OIC!
