This monitor has a bunch of horizontal lines that are brighter than they are supposed to be. The lines fade from left to right, so the right side of the screen looks normal. The lines appear over the OSD and when there is no video signal, so there is nothing wrong with the computer. The lines are always in the same place while the monitor is powered on, but there is a very small chance that some of the lines will disappear or new lines will appear when it is turned off for a while and turned back on. Since these pictures were taken, the brightest line you can see has disappeared and been replaced by several more bright (almost white) lines.
These lines have been there since the monitor was a few weeks old, and it has been like this for months.
I haven't seen this kind of failure before. Can this be repaired?
