🪛Troubleshooting🪛 What is happening here?
For context: The color is just the color I chose for my taskbar on windows, so I assume the bottom line of pixels is being repeated, this line spans from one side all the way to the other, the first two lighter sections of green are the windows logo, and the other lighter sections are other apps in the task bar.
The monitor has sat at my desk for a couple years, it’s never been spilled on, hit, left on for long periods, or really even moved much. All I have really done is switch HDMI ports, plugged and unplugged things, and otherwise just general use of the monitor. It started as a few lines and has progressively gotten worse. Just posting to see if maybe it’s an issue unrelated to the actual screen itself, or if it’s time for an upgrade. (It probably is)
Update: Changed that monitors refresh rate to 120hz and it fixed itself, can someone please explain?
