Description

## Prerequisites
- [x] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
Similar to elementary/switchboard-plug-display#17 but that was on Freya and has an `Incomplete` label.
## Describe the bug
The display breaks very often and the screen gets distorted. I've noticed it happening while playing video and/or using the camera so far and only on kernel 5.0.0-28. Switching to kernel 5.0.0-37 seems to resolve the problem.

* If applicable, add screenshots or screen recordings to help explain your problem.

### To Reproduce
It might be a compatibility issue with my display driver, not sure if someone else can reproduce this.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Boot with kernel 5.0.0-28 (it is the default on mine)
2. Play any video
3. See error

### Expected behavior

The video should play without any issues.

## Platform Information
- OS: elementary OS 5.1 Hera
- Hardware: Dell XPS 13 9380
- Kernel driver: i915

- [ ] I'm using the latest version from git that I've manually compiled
- [x] I'm using the latest released stable version

## Additional context
If this is a hardware issue, feel free to comment and close this issue. I can try to change my default kernel in the grub settings.
Here are my driver details:
