It used to go back to normal after a few minutes but now it's permastuck like this ☹️

    A lot of the time it just means that you’re completely fucked.

    Replace the cable first, before you consider more drastic options.

    Something very similar happened to me a few months ago and i just unplugged it for a few minutes and it was fine for another few months and then i did it again and it didn’t happen since then.

    If changing the cable doesn’t work it usually means you need a new monitor

    Got another monitor you can test? If it’s the same on another one could be GPU.

    If it does this then goes back to normal, it could be the solder joints going bad (and it works again after they warm up). It’ll fail permanently very soon.

    Cold bug. Typical case. Either heat up your room, heat up the display with hair dryer (just be careful – you want it warm, not melting, and you could damage matrix by overheating it) (also, if you use hair dryer, most likely you should aim at the bottom side, usually circuits are there), or just wait long enough for electronics to warm up.

    It’s a typical issue with bent displays. Never buy bent displays.

    Unfixable, but not critical, it could work like that for years.

    Though, if your is stuck like and not warming up, maybe your case is the exception, or maybe some connection just broke completely.

    One does not simply recover after this boot

    Does it have any on-screen display (OSD) for config menus for the monitor?

    If that OSD doesn’t show clearly, that tells us one thing, which leans to catastrophic issues.

    If the OSD does show clearly, that means another thing, which leans more toward an option of the cable or connection being a culprit if we’re lucky.

    It means ,time for some monitor shopping!

    its over.

    It means you are about to go monitor shopping.

    This is VA panel issue. Typical for VA, you can heat it up and use normally or replace for non VA monitor. This is not a problem. One of my monitors is like that for 4 years and it works just fine after it warms up

    Try different cable. Happened to me too. I thought my monitor was simply too old, but changing the cable fixed the issue. Cables are cheap.

    With any luck a ghost will exit from the display

    Did a little creepy dead girl crawl out by chance 🤔

    Man and I thought my flat pink screen was bad

    I’ve had a VA panel do that when I turn it on for years. Works perfectly once I let it heat up a bit. Takes longer in winter.

  19. It means the panel has delaminated and the edge contacts were only making good contact after it had warmed up and the surfaces expanded.

    Now they’re not.

    I have a similar problem with my DisplayPort connected monitor, there is days it happens and days it doesnt, i managed to figured it out being the cold, if the room is too cold, the monitor does this until the cable/connector/room heats up. Takes max 1 min and then it works flawlessly for the rest of the day.

    Your brain is broken, replace your brain first, if that doesn’t work try your eyes. If it still looks the same try the computer, video card, monitor, cable, in that order…

    Best case scenario: your cable isn’t connected correctly.
    Worst case scenario: your GPU has gone to hell!

    It means that the time has come to throw it from the terrace

  25. Zatura24

    I have a monitor with similar issues. For me it always has this startup issue at 144hz. I’ve never had it when I’ve set the display to 120hz, so I just kept it at that. Hopefully it will not get perma stuck for me as well 🥲

    So long, farewell, to you my friend goodbye for now until we meet again

    It means a nice funeral is in your future soon

    This happens to my HP ZR24w monitor when it is too cold in the room.

    Apart from what had already been suggested, turning down the refresh rate also worked for me. After some time you can turn it up to “normal” again

    It means something ain’t right

  31. Best case, HDMI cable damaged or not connected properly, check this before you do anything else, try another cable and monitor before you spend any money.

    Most likely, damaged HDMI port on either the cable, monitor or PC.

    In ascending order of expense*…
    – hdmi cable/ports broken
    – monitor/TV (port) broken
    – non-GPU PC component broken (i.e. CPU, motherboard)
    – unlikely
    – GPU (port) broken

    * Depending on your GPU/TV,
    YMMV

  32. My side monitor did this over the course of like 2 years, but progressively got slower to reach the clear normal screen. I got a new PC and it still did it for a bit but then out of no where it no longer has any problems with it lmao. It works as if it was brand new and never had any problems. I dont know what in the world would fix it because I didnt do anything but it did fix. I was told it just means your monitor is dying but after what I just described: i have no *fucking* idea 🤣🤣
