Need Computer screen help

sounds like its burnt in, did you leave your computer on with no screen saver for along time?

No, but that is what it looks like.

There is likely no way to get rid of it. It requires replacement. If it's still under store or manufacturer warranty, return it and have it replaced. Otherwise, it's time to start shopping for a new monitor.

Also is it on your laptop or desktop? What kind of monitor LCD? TFT? or CRT? I may be able to help you depending on what your working with or atleast give you concrete advice on what your next step should be.

No problem,

From the looks of it you have a dead pixel cluster. This is very common in LCD's. It either spawns from 1 or 2 things.

1. A shoddy connection between your LCD and desktop which caused unequal power to the pixel board.

2. Poor hardware manufacturing on behalf of the company who made it.

Most LCD companies have special policies for dead pixels and they will actually not accept the LCD as replaceable until it usually has atleast 8-20 dead pixels. In your case it seems as if you have far more than 20. I would get your model number and call directly to their customer service line and they should be able to help you even if the monitor is 2-3 years old.

I also have a TFT LCD desktop. If I don't work on my computer for a few hours and then come back to work on it the screen flashes on/off quickly and it takes a few minutes before the screen stabilizes and allows me to see everything.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I checked the connections and they seem to be tight.

A sharpie is a little to high class for me, I have multicolored duck tape.
