I just discovered that I have about 2-3 horizontal lines on my monitor screen, on in the bottom right corner, and another one in the top left.

Anyone know what could cause this?

 

Would suck if these are just signs my monitor is slowly dying, been serving me well for the past 5 years :x

do they move or go away at all, or are they stuck there?

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

They're not moving, they're just staying at the same place they're at.

well... it's probably not stuck pixels, but run a stuck pixel test video.

 

it's probably dying slowly.

 

@Frankz cool avatar BTW.

Thanks =)

The lines are only clearly visible on a green background, very hard to see on red and blue(only from a certain angle) and invisible on black and white.

I just ran a 5 min stuck pixel vid(flashing colors), but that didn't really do much.

you should run it for 10hours or more if you can.

 

it might be that only one of the elements in each pixel is blown out, like say the G of the RGB :P
