Monitor going Bad,

[JimmyD3]

Well my curved monitor is dying, got a darkened area from top to bottom about 2 inches wide 10 inches from the left bezel.

While im sure resources may be limited I recommend buying  "something" before this conflict in Iran spirrals out of control. It is unacceptable to have ypu absent for any length of time unless health related! 

Throw a space heater behind the monitor and see if that black area goes away. Obviously dont run it too hot but persistent heat helped my monitor for over a year.

Jimmy, make sure you have your PC specs in hand including your GPU.  You might alsso consider a PC-GPU upgrade if needed to get the monitor you want.   Consider VR as well.

Thanks for the suggestions Randy, I got a new computer back in November with a Nvida 4070Ti, also got a quest 3. I'm loving VR!! Bought a new AOC 34" curved monitor, like my original.

Check the monitor’s power cord if you have a spare cord. On my monitors the power cord usually dies before my monitors do.

I got this monitor Kenai last year on sale at Microcenter for around $1,700. I believe you can divide it up into 3 different monitors if desired. Anyways, I needed it for my old eyes and fine details are much clearer and objects larger. 

Cheers,  One-eye

That's almost what I paid for my new computer, I know all about the bad eye sight.

Have you had cataract surgery?   I have one eye done but had to hold off on the second eye.

[JimmyD3]

not yet, my eye doctor says I don't need it yet. My father had Macular Degeneration pretty bad, she said mine look fine.
