Display Issues after windows update.

[IamPaddy]

After the last windows update my ASUS VG278HE monitor has white horizontal lines across the screen. I thought it was a compatibility issue so I updated and my drivers(gtx 1080). This reduced the amount of lines but one still remains. When I change the input to hdmi from dvi the line is still present which makes me believe there is a monitor hardware issue and that it coincidentally occured after the windows update.

I am planning on pulling the monitor apart, just wondering what I should be looking for (e.g. loose cables, blown capacitors). 

If this is truely the end just wondering what peoples opinions are on a worthy replacement, 24-27 inch, 144hz monitor?

Try attaching the monitor a different video source, so you can check whether it's your PC or monitor.

Yeah I'm surprised that you're considering taking the monitor apart before simply trying it on another machine , or even trying a system restore , or basically any early diagnostics

Yeah I will try it on another machine but I have already tried the hdmi. When using the hdmi on a console the issue still occured

@IamPaddy you mentioned when you changed ports that it reduced the amount of white lines along with when you updated your drivers would imply its your system causing the issue not the Monitor. if it was the monitor their would have been no change in the white area when you update your drivers.
