Hi,
I've had a Samsung monitor (S27D360) since 2014 and it's served me well, but in the past month or so a dark gradient appears along either the top, middle, or bottom of the screen a fraction of a second after turning on. (see this video for an example.) It first started happening after I left it running over a weekend trip, so a component may have failed from overheating or something similar.
When I reset the settings and it reboots the monitor, it seems to appear around the same time as the on-screen menu, and so my hunch is that there's some issue in that realm, but I have no clue.
It's not exactly a high-end monitor, but I've had it since middle school and I'm pretty sentimental about it (and it still performs great).
Anyone have advice for troubleshooting?
Thanks!
