Setup: - monitor: AOC 23" (bought 3 months ago) - laptop: Samsung R580 - OS: Windows 7 - graphics card: nvidia geforce 310m - monitor is connected to laptop with VGA cable
Call me crazy, but yesterday I stepped away from the laptop for a few minutes and when I came back, the image quality of the monitor completely changed. It's hard to describe, but it looks like every second pixel is black, and in the end the image looks like a scottish quilt. It's not a dead pixel problem, it's something that affects the entire image.
Resolution and refresh rate are the same. The image on the laptop screen is correct, so I suspect this is a monitor problem rathern than a graphics card problem. I've tried resetting the monitor settings, no difference.
