Weird monitor glitch

[A1Mike_W]

Hey guys,

 

The top of my screen seems to overlap the bottom, with some of the bottom overlapping that as well. It's confusing when I explain it so I'll just link a video.

I am not covered under warranty so my best attempt would be to fix it myself or sell it to someone who can. I checked if any data cables are loose but they seem fine.

 

 

Anyone have suggestions on what it could be? It's not resolution/framerate/anything specific, it happens from the moment the monitor is turned on even when not plugged in to anything.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Try resetting or adjusting your pixel clock and other timing settings

Also try doing auto adjust again

i agree with @Faisal A do that but if that does not work:

 

too me it looks like graphics issue, it could be a dying display.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

 

I reset pixel clock and played around with refresh rates. The effect is worst at 144hz, gets better at 100, best (though still not great) at 60hz, and goes downhill again below 60. Messing with the pixel clock manually does not yield better results, but then again I'm no expert.

What's this auto adjust?

Sucks considering I've only had it under 1.5 years, but I've already got a new one coming so I'm more hoping to get this one in good shape before I sell it on.

Auto adjust automatically sets the monitor to the right v and h position. If it failed, do it manually

@Faisal A Thank you. Just tried it, still nothing. Is the monitor bust then?

@A1Mike_W No, try manually adjusting the v and h position

may be a long shot but try the following

Win+Ctrl+Shift+B

Didn't work, but that's a useful shortcut. Thanks

@Faisal A Yeah that's what I tried, didn't help at all unfortunately. Like I said, the problem exists even when the only cable plugged in is the power cable, so I suspect the panel is dying rather than a faulty connection/wrong settings. Thanks for the suggestions anyway
