which kind of screens are more heat resistant?

Greetings,

I grew up and used to live in Canada but now I live in the main land caribbean and I am having trouble with heat damage on my monitors. (see photos attached).

my main is a 1080p ASUS VH236H and i had a backup for this one incase I had to switch (Dell E228WFPc).
 

I have a super limited budget due to crazy shipping costs. I just want a half desent 1080p monitor for gaming and movies for my aging PC. I have an AMD fx8150 (after market corsair air cooler) paired with an RX570 and 8gb ddr3.

 

I am wondering if there is a type of screen that maybe less likely to take damage during our heat waves, or any inexpensive tips you may have for me.

...Air conditioning?

What kind of room temperatures are you seeing exactly?  I can imagine that high room temperatures combined with the heat produced by the monitor would leave it unable to to passively dissipate it's heat sufficiently.  A box fan?

And what's the sunlight situation?  With most monitors being pretty much all black, even the panel when powered off, if they're in sunlight through a window that plastic would absorb a lot of sunlight, radiating it as heat.  I've had my all black cellphone overheat and shut itself off in the sunlight while on a table at a patio for example.

I don't understand how that would happen unless the monitor is directly hit by sunlight in the time of day where it's strongest and hottest. If that is what happened, just keep it out of the sun.

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. 
It matters that you don't just give up.”

The place it is in is an unfinished building and its in a corner with a large 22" fan blowing on it all the time.... its just HOT out here. Im sitting here now and it is currently 95f at noon and getting hotter. Unfortunatly with the current state of the building , air conditioning is not an option. The PC temps are actually managed quite well in comparison. CPU between 28-41c as i type now. It is monitored with the "core temp" application. I dont water cool because we commonly have high humidity. Condensation I feel would be a killer and my after market air cooler work great. That said the passive cooling on my motherboard is more of a consern at the hottest times of the day so i try to keep the load during the day low to idle. I monitor that with the led on the south bridge (ASUS 970 pro gaming /aura) to show temp based on color at the default settings. Nothing is exposed to sunlight.
