A spring-loaded pen broke and shot the top half directly at my monitor and I have a small circle at the point of impact which appears on all screens, including 100% black.

What is odd, though, is that my mouse cursor totally hides it. I blew up my mouse cursor to maximum size and you can see in the photo that the damage is gone. But otherwise trying to hide it with a white window does not work.

I have tried an image cleaning cycle, but it made no difference unfortunately.

My screen is LG 39GX950B-B and I am very sad 😢

I’ve had the display for about half a year and I really love it!

Tho I recently discovered some strange white lines in the top of the display near the edge. It’s quite strange because they come and go, which is maybe why I first see them now. I’ve had monitors in the past with dead pixels ect, but these don’t look like dead pixels.

Has anyone else with the same monitor experienced these?

i’ve had this monitor for almost a year now. it started acting real weird lately. When i first start the pc, the monitor opens as if the brightness is set to 500 out of 100. but it’s actualy set to 50. it only returns to normal if i close and re-open the monitor a few times. but i check the brightness after it goes back to normal and it’s still at 50.

So the brightness actually doesn’t change at all but everything goes so bright and it looks disgusting.

For reference, first 2 images are from when it’s working normally and last 2 images are from when the brightness goes crazy.

Has anybody experienced this issue before? Any ideas how to fix this?

I have owned this monitor for 2 weeks now. Gray banding was present from the start, and I decided to live with it because most of the time it was unnoticeable.

But recently I started playing this new Silent Hill game, and now it's kind of ruining the experience for me.

Gray banding is VERY noticeable in this game. The photo doesn't really represent what I see with my eyes. The light gray foggy color (which is everywhere in this particular game) is not even at all.

I just want to warn everyone that this may be a real issue with this monitor in certain games/scenarios.

In every other aspect, the monitor is GREAT. It would be 12/10 if not for the gray banding issue.
