Hello all. My monitor has been behaving really strangely as of late. Some shades of color will always display incorrectly, with a weird static kind of thing, or pixel corruption. I will post a video here so you can see it for yourself, as I don't know how to explain very well.

Here are the things I've tried.

-Using another VGA cable - Same issue.
-Connecting it to another PC - Same issue.
-Connecting a PS3 through HDMI - Same issue.
-Disconnecting all but the PC - Same issue.
-Disconnecting all but the PS3 - Same issue.
-Getting rid of cellphones or other devices that could cause interference - Same issue.

I have no money to pay for a repair and it's out of warranty, nor do I have money to get a new one. Any help with this please?
 
your monitor looks as if it was hit with something damaging the screen. note the round shape around the constantly brightly lit pixels, almost looks like someone punched it to me based off of size and shape. (you don't have to break the glass to damage the internal traces inside the panel.
 


Thanks for the answer. It has never been hit with anything at all, and it wouldn't make sense considering the weird pixels disappear when I turn up/down the brightness. It also disappears if I put a pink/purple or black background.

I'm just pretty confused with it. Haha.
 


Sure.

Pay no mind to the red light in the black screenshot. It's just my lamp.

The green one looks screwed up to hell, the blue one looks fine save for a small vertical line in the center, and the rest look ok.
 
i will say it, I'm an idiot.

next time please change your wall paper to one that doesn't make it look like someone punched your monitor (i was thinking all them white lines on your home screen was part of your issue not just the single vertical lines going in or out).

i would consider it to be a vga signal fault or mabe a video card issue--- but you say you had it with a hdmi (digital signal) and other devices. so you already elmintated these two causes

still could be a bad panel, could be the monitors main board issue. and theres no simple way to figure it out.

ill end my pain now and stop wasteing your time
 


No worries my man. At least the screen has been ruled out.

After checking it out better, nothing seems out of the ordinary with the screen. However something inside seems to be overheating. I set my room to 14ºC and the problem disappeared overnight. Once it heats up, it slowly rears its ugly head again.
