My Screen Is Darkened On The Top Half. How do I fix?

Only the top half of my screen shows up as dark, I have read a bit around and it has nothing to do with my eye level or the such. Are there any ways to fix this or am I just stuck like this? It's kinda like it's shaded a bit. I can still clear and it's not overly dark. But it is causing me to strain my eyes.
 
Solution
If half of your screen is dark then you likely have a failed panel. Unplug and check the display cable at both ends to make sure nothing looks wrong and maybe even reseat your graphics card just to be sure, but usually changes like that are due to panel issues or failure of the backlighting. Cost of repairing something like that likely exceeds the cost to replace it, so, if it's not a bad cable I'd say you're in the market for a new monitor.
