Tears in LCD monitor

[dogbert1684]

I have two Hyundai 19" LCD monitors and one recently formed two tears towards the bottom-right corner of the screen. By tears, I mean it looks like a knife cut two slits and they have been continually expanding over the past few days (both in length and width). It is not actually on the screen (I cannot feel it). It appears as a gray area when the screen is white. Dark colors still display correctly (i.e. text, pictures, etc.), but with them expanding, it makes me nervous as to how far this will go. I got the monitors a few months apart and have had no problems with the later one.

I'm sure I'm not the first person with this problem on an LCD monitor, I just want to know what causes it. Thanks in advance.

I would call Hyundai for a RMA. The LCD panel could be dying on you.
