So I recently broke my monitor and now small part of its bottom is blinking and not displaying correctly.  Anyway how could I disable the broken pixels - so that they are not powered? I'm using IPS235. I read the manual and it seems that the only properties that could help me was positioning the picture when in VGA mode (from the monitor menu). But it seems that this option still gives power to the broken pixels and even more - even if we ignore those pixels (maybe place some tape over them so that they are not visible) - I can't move the picture enough that it's not overlapping with them.  I'm running various OSes but currently I'm messing with linux. I have nvidia dirvers for my GPU but I don't know - is there some way I could move the picture displayed to the monitor so that it doesn't overlap with the broken pixels?  I think that the only possible solution to this problem is on the software side because it's seems that the firmware on the monitor is too basic.  So any ideas?

Water was sprayed on my 19" monitor and damaged some parts of it. I need a solution that will let me specify the screen area to be used by Windows, as if it was a smaller monitor. Its default menu doesn't have this option.

I have a Macbook Pro mid-2014 running macOS Catalina 10.15.3  A few years ago, I dropped it, and broke the screen, then bought a replacement screen and repaired it myself.  Until today, I had no problems with it (except for a minor bug, which I asked about in ).  Today when I turned my mac on, the internal display does not turn on, but the two external monitors I use work fine.  The internal display is not shown in the display settings, nor in system information -> hardware.  What I've tried:   NVRAM reset disconnecting the battery from the motherboard, and all cables that are connected to the internal display, then reconnecting a full reinstall of the OS   I've also tried a plethora of other suggestions, but I don't think they are relevant.  After a bit of research, I suspect the "logic board" might be damaged, but I don't want to spend the money for replacement parts without being certain.     What can I do to diagnose this problem? Is there anything else I can try?

Old computers were using CRT monitors and when an image was continuously displayed on the screen, it became marked. So, screensaver where invented to avoid screen burn-in.   Laptops and modern computers almost all uses LCD display now and, AFAIK, they are not affected by this effect.  So, should I completely deactivate this feature and use power management instead or I am wrong?

I am trying to take a screenshot of a YouTube video in fullscreen.  When I pause the video and wait a moment, only the bottom UI bar (play/pause/seek) disappears. The top UI bar (Like/Share/More Info) stays there.  So when I press PrintScreen on the keyboard, the screenshot is polluted by this top UI bar. Is there any way to remove it while the video is on pause?

I got one of those little lilliput external monitors for my laptop. When I close the lid on my laptop, it switches the primary display to external monitor. I want to prevent it from doing this, and instead just blank both screens but not alter the monitor configuration.   I looked at the Power Options "Change what to do when closing the lid" option, but that just gives options for Sleep, Hibernate or Do Nothing. I want to Do Nothing, and prevent the monitor reconfiguration. Any ideas?   Thanks in advance!  Oh, BTW, I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on an Alienware with the ATI graphics card.   CLARIFY: My reasoning for this question is that I often carry my laptop back and forth between rooms, but not far enough that I'm going to shut it down and restart. Normally I just closed the lid and picked it up. The problem is, now when i close the lid, it switches the primary display to the external, and then when i reopen it, it switches back to the internal monitor. This then winds up futzing up layout things, such as gadgets and sticky notes.

I use a dual monitor.  The colors appear entirely different on the new monitor than they do on my laptop.  When you are selecting colors etc, to be included in a website design, it totally freaks me out.  Is there no software solution that finds how the settings of one of the monitor is and puts that to the second one?  Otherwise what all settings do I need to change manually on the second monitor to make it appear as it does on the laptop?  Thanks in advance.

After a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10, my screen still goes off after about ten minutes.  I've been to the Brightness and Lock control panel.  The Turn screen off when inactive for: setting is set to Never.  I've been through the dconf editor searching for power, screen, and idle changing parameters.  This doesn't seem to have any effect on the display timeout.  Here's one more interesting thing, the screen doesn't go off, it just goes black.  The back lighting is still on, and all the pixels are black.    When it goes black, it does a very pleasant quick dim to black. Similarly, it quickly un-dim's after a key press, mouse movement, or mouse click.

The LCD below is from a cheap digital clock which was (obviously) damaged (broken glass).    The electrical connection between the PCB and the display was realized with this pink strip.    Its flexible...    ...and consists of alternating rows of conductive and insulating material between the pink boarders.    [above image was altered in contrast/brightness to highlight the alternating strips]  What is this kind of connector called? Is it only used for displays?   I am pretty impressed that the connection is reliable just from the very slight pressure between the strip and the PCB. Also, its easily removable from the display. There seems to be some conductive layer on the glass, from where the signal goes into the displays internals. This connection seems to be damaged for the three rightmost signals, where the glass is broken.

I have recently upgraded Ubuntu 19.10 to latest LTS Ubuntu 20.04. After updating, I get serious artifacts on my screen. Every time I reboot (or log-in), my screen is fuzzy or scrambled (picture attached):     This is temporary. The fuzzy screen goes away when I change the background. But it reappears the moment I reboot or log back in.   I have Intel HD Graphics 520 (Skylake GT2).  The output of lspci -nn |grep -E 'VGA|Display' is:  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] [8086:1916] (rev 07)   Update:   On enabling Wayland in Ubuntu 20.04 and logging in to, these artifacts are however cured.   This is okay for now, but I am not sure about Wayland as I have not yet used it before.   Is there a way to correct the graphic issue with normal Ubuntu startup?

I have loads of grubby finger marks on my monitor (mine and smaller people's).  I'm not sure how to clean them off without damaging the monitor.  What's the best way to safely clean dust, smudges and fingerprints off an LCD?

Problem -   I can't get 2560x1440  high resolution to work on my Dell 27" U2713HM Monitor.  Details -   I have a Dell E6520 LAPTOP running 64 bit Windows 8. The highest resolution on the laptop is 1920x1080.  It shows 2 display adapters under Device Manager   Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 NVIDIA NVS 4200M   I checked to make sure drivers for both are latest. In my task tray I have both Intel graphics and NVIDIA managers.  I bought a Dell 27" U2713HM Monitor to use 2560 X 1440 resolution.  Installed the Dell Display manager, latest drivers etc.  Connected monitor using Dual Link DVI through my docking station.  I just cant get the 2560 X 1440 high resolution.  It only gives me 1920 X 1080 on the monitor. I even tried the HDMI connection.  Is this because my laptop display card has max resolution of 1920 X 1080?   So in order to use a certain max resolution, the display card in my laptop needs to support it?  If I see 2 display adaptors in Device manager, does it mean I have 2 display cards?  How can I get the Dell 27" U2713HM Monitor 2560 X 1440 resolution to work?

When I hit F12 to render an image and zoom in it is quickly pixelated. How can I render a higher res display? I have looked through the settings and couldn't find a solution.

Recently, something went wrong with my Macbook Pro 13&quot; 2019 model's display. About 1.5 inches (in length) of my display went completely black and there are some vertical lines on the edges of this black portion. It appears to be a hardware issue.  I was wondering if I can do something so that my entire screen appears in only the part to the right of this black portion, until I can find the time to give my laptop for repair. I know I can just rescale my window each time, but I don't want to keep doing that every time I open a new window. Can I use software to remap the entire display area to a smaller section of a physical display?

I have a Dell Inspiron 17R 5737 with an Intel Haswell Core i5 4200U, and an AMD Radeon HD8870 graphics card (switchable).  When installing Ubuntu (after checking disk for errors) and choosing "Try without installing", there's a green tint on the whole screen (where it's supposed to be pink/purple). I thought it might just be an issue that wouldn't show up after installing it onto the hard drive, and so I went on with the installation without any problems. My computer rebooted and I booted Ubuntu for some tweaking.   But the green tint was still there. I tried plugging in my LG HDTV via HDMI and on that screen there was no tint, but it was still there on my laptop.  What I'm wondering is why this happens and if there's any way to fix it, because I would really like to be able to use Ubuntu.

I have Blank screen disabled but my PC seems to be ignoring this. This issue also ignores the  extension. This is pretty recent behavior as it's been working for a long while now.    Disabling idle-dim in dconf seems to have done it.

All  I just install a fresh new Ubuntu 16.04 on my new desktop which has a 8th generation Intel CPU i5 8600K. When OS installed, I found there is only one option in display setting: 1024 x 768 (4:3),  My monitor is a HDMI monitor with 1920x1080 resolution  Do anyone have any idea how to make the resolution setting right? Thanks.  BTW. I do not install any graphic card, I use the internal GPU of Intel
