I got this line at the screen bottom exactly like yours, in my laptop screen since 2 years ago, 2 years later i got 2nd and 3rd line at the bottom

I press on screen, press on casing, nothing change
First was think is it any program cause problem
So just win + L, still got line
4 years old this monitor

Nothing we can do unless replace it
I just ignore it as it is located at the bottom, can’t tahan if located at middle

And yes, it will getting worse 1 day, sooner or later, 2nd line, 3rd line…..

More serious, eye sore
Lucky is bottom part, i google search some of them is middle of screen

Yeah luckily not middle part
As most of the time I won't staring the bottom, so be it

The sign of changing new monitor.

How many years old your monitor? Usually monitor nowadays come with 3 years warranty. If under warranty, send it back for warranty claim. If your monitor is 5 years old or more, well stick with it for the moment until you cannot bare anymore with it, buy new one to replace it.

probably it's time for new monitor... mine around 8-9 yrs old now showing white glare spots in the middle...

This can be anything.



Try on another external monitor and observe if it's there

Take screenshot and look at your screenshot. If there is no line in your screenshot, get ready to change monitor.

look like confirm monitor problem, just use it until getting serious la
lucky is on very bottom of screen
checking cable, unplug replug back, still got line
taken screenshot, does not see got line

Sorry sudden necro old thread
Now getting serious got about 5 line
Time to replace monitor if keep more line

I got 4 lines now from 2 lines, all still within the taskbar "luckily"

Test it using 2 PC. If it shows the same pattern confirm is monitor problem.

can be the panel, ribbon cable or LCD controller... but basically you need new monitor if just basic one.. replacing panel not worth they cost almost the same if not more.

Few years old monitor already like this? Usually caused by those flexible "tape cables" glued onto panel starting to malfunction by losing proper contact, don't really know the proper term. If that is really the case, got chance to fix if confirmed that is the issue by stuffing something at the right spot to apply additional pressure for better contact. If ribbon cable problem usually much more serious than mere lines like this.

Buy on 2018, now like this



Mean pressinh a bit on casing, not on screen?
Was planning to get new monitor on incoming raya sale

Yes the casing/side once you can figure out the location of the contacts, not screen or you might just break the entire thing.

But judging from your picture, don't think can do anything with that type of bezel unless you dismantle the entire shell to reach the actual panel part. Suggest you keep the monitor for non demanding use and just buy a new one

you can consider buying a second hand monitor.

Just order new monitor on laz bday sale
