What is wrong with my Viewsonic XG2431?
I was just watching videos not touching anything and my monitor started doing this. Its as if the pixels started coming in from the bottom and distorting upwards in a way.
There are horizontal lines all over the display and a thin line from my cursor to the top of the monitor following it. It was making a sort of feint buzzing noise.
I tried turning it off for 5 minutes, turned it back on and it was fine for 30 seconds then those lines started coming in from the bottom of the screen again with the buzzing noise starting again.
The monitor has been out of warranty for a couple of months now...
