My monitor has started displaying some weird signs. It has a green tinge around the screen and has vertical lines in places. I've done some initial troubleshooting to figure out where the issue lies. I have two screens, when I switch the HDMI output from the effected monitor to the one which is normal, the issue disappears. So issue is not with GPU (thank god).

So the issue is with the monitor, but as you can see in the images and videos below, it does some weird stuff. The haze stays almost relative to a particular pixel set within an image for example. As shown in "Pic 1", there is some green pixels. In "Vid 1" the pixels effected follow an area relative to the image. In "Vid 2", you can see as I mess with colour profile, green haze disappears in places but reappears in other areas. You can also see in "Pic 2" some vertical lines during flash up.

My conclusion is, the monitor is now unable to render certain colors. What do people think?
