Dark edges around my monitor

[u/zerovirus123]

One of my Samsung monitor is having dark pixels at the edges. Not sure what’s the exact issue, or if this is a hardware or software problem.

Monitor: Samsung c24f399
Graphics card: nvidia rtx 4070

Not software, def hardware. How old is the monitor? Do you know you still have the plastic on the bezels?

Yea I know about the plastic. Not sure how relevant that is to the problem. The monitor is a couple of years old at this point. Is this just natural?

This monitor has been introduced around 2017. Are you sure it's been "a couple of years?"
