Display Issues after windows update.

[IamPaddy]

After the last windows update my ASUS VG278HE monitor has white horizontal lines across the screen. I thought it was a compatibility issue so I updated and my drivers(gtx 1080). This reduced the amount of lines but one still remains. When I change the input to hdmi from dvi the line is still present which makes me believe there is a monitor hardware issue and that it coincidentally occured after the windows update.

I am planning on pulling the monitor apart, just wondering what I should be looking for (e.g. loose cables, blown capacitors).

If this is truely the end just wondering what peoples opinions are on a worthy replacement, 24-27 inch, 144hz monitor?

Instead of pulling the monitor apart and potentially voiding your warranty (if your warranty is yet intact) why don't you get a similar monitor and see if the lines are present on the donor monitor as well. You might also want to see if the lines are present at different resolutions. On another note, have you tried uninstalling your current GPU drivers using DDU and reinstalling them with the latest revision off of Nvidia's site?
