My monitor is like its fading away. In example, when there is text its like, it creates a white line, but a little faded. And in screenshots you can't see it. I have screenshot of me trying to draw it so i can give you an idea of what it looks like. http://prntscr.com/b4byzy . I dont know how to explain it. i have searched for a solution but nothing. However, when I unplug the wire that powers the monitor and plug it back in, its fixed and i can see everything clearly, until 5 hours or something. Also, i want to mention that i bought a new graphics card recently, because i play games. And sorry for my English.

I'm not sure if I understand your description, but any kind of fading is usually related to the backlight. I've had two monitors over the years that became really dim but if I unplugged them for a while and then plugged them back in, they worked properly for a few hours and them became dim again. That sounds like what you're describing. All you can do is contact the manufacturer and see if they will fix/replace the monitor. If you're lucky, it's just the bulb. You could also look for a local store that repairs electronics.
