Is this monitor dying?
(lemmy.world)
That's not a shadow on the screen, the right hand 5th of the screen is about 20-30% dimer than the rest, messing with gamma/brightness changes the whole screen including that portion proportionally, but it's impossible to get it all matching again.
Different input has the same result, as well as no input, screen on with no input shows grey 'no input' screen with the same dark section.
It's my only monitor and a decent one at that, 2.5 years old so not happy that it's out of warranty and might not get fixed.
Thanks in advance for any help guys I appreciate your thoughts.
Also not sure why the site has turned the pic sideways, the original isn't like that.

Backlight failure on the right side. Happens over time and with extended usage/heat.
Also how do you get that font for your username?

Yeah I guessed as much just didn't wanna hear it, any way to fix it, and do you think Gigabyte will fix it for me, had it approx 2.5 years?
The entire backlight would have to be replaced, might as well just replace the monitor. I had an HP monitor for 13 years and it only got dark on the edges.
