I have had a Samsung S22A350H / SyncMaster A350 for the past 13 years. Suddenly I only have this picture, a vertical line in the center.

Is it completely dead? Is there anything I can do to check?

I' d like to buy another one but with same specs(LED 21.5" - Full HD 1920 x 1080 - pixels 16:9 - 2 ms - 250 cd/m² - 1000:1)
I haven't watched the monitor market and I don' t play games, only some MAME. Do you have any similar monitors to recommend?

Hook it behind 2nd PC to validate it not being PC issue.

Nothing lasts for forever though.

Take your pick,
pcpp: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/m...sort=price&page=1&G=10000000000,2000000000000

Cheapest 21.5" is ~130 bucks. For less, you could get 24" or even 27" monitor.

E.g for 110 bucks;
MSI G27C3F (27", 1080p, 16:9, 180 Hz, 1ms, 300 cd/m², 3000:1, curved 1500R)
specs: https://www.msi.com/Monitor/G27C3F

Solid upgrade over what you had.

No, PC is fine. I have it connected with a TV now and works properly.

wow, so many monitors of 1 ms. But unfortunately they don't exist in my country.
I' d like no more than 24" and I don't think I need a curve one. I would prefer again Samsung, and this one looks like good for my AMD card. What do you think? (link)
