The screen on my laptop is acting funny, i dont know if its the actual LCD panel, or some other part of the display system (video card, lcd cable, etc.) It's most likely an LCD issue, i just thought id bring it up in case anyone has experienced/heard of a problem like this, as i sure havent... So the issue is, when the lcd panel displays certain colors (usually solid colors for some reason, i notice it a lot in greys as well) the pixels show up red. Its not just dead pixels or anything... its an entire centimeter wide column of these strange pixels, running the whole height of the screen. Now, the reason i think it may be something other than a messed up lcd screen is that if i fill the entire screen with a color that causes this problem, i can see an entire column of redness, and it is sort of "running" towards the top of the screen... Kind of like lightbulbs on a merry-go-round, except instead of going between on and off to create a running effect, the pixels go between red, and the color they should be. Another strange part of this that gives me some hope that its not the lcd panel is that sometimes the problem will mysteriously go away, or lighten up. It doesnt make the screen unusable by any means, typing this message on pocket matrix i dont see anything at all. Even watching a family guy dvd, its not much of an issue. But if i wanna play a contemporary 3d game (grand theft auto, etc) it becomes a nuessance...Also if im displaying an entirely solid color.
Im posting this to ask if anyone thinks they know what this problem is, and what the solution is. Please respond if you have any input, i dont want to have to buy a new lcd panel.
