My mid 2010 MBP's screen blinks when I try and watch things on the internet(ex. netflix). Basically when you go into full screen mode it blinks black and when you go back to windowed mode it is fine, it doesn't blink. But after a couple seconds it does that thing windows used to do, when you drag the window around it leaves little copies behind(image posted) After about 10 seconds of that it goes away. It runs videos through quicktime, VLC, MplayerX and all of those just fine. It just happens with full screen videos from internet browsers. Happens with chrome, safari, and firefox. Those are the ones i've tested it on.
It seems like something wrong with the internet videos themselves, possibly Microsoft silverlight(the program netflix uses) because the blinking doesn't happen with YouTube videos.
Heres a picture of the copies all over the screen. Screen shotted just a few minutes ago.

Update: Running a video with VLC and I do not get the blinking but it does do the copies thing and the video turns black after a while. Not sure what's going on, but now I believe its a display or graphics card problem.
Any information would be great.
Thanks
