wtf are these lines and how do I get rid of them?
I just had the monitor apart for a different reason, but the lines didn't get better or worse. They've been getting worse over time though it seems.
It's not the DVI cable or computer because I plugged a laptop in on the VGA port and the lines were still there, and while the monitor was apart I had a spare hooked up to the DVI and main computer.
So it's hardware or a loose ribbon past where I took all the boards off (which would be right at the screen edge I guess?) but googling gets me a ton of dead ends, e.g. check your cable 1000 times.
Lines are consistent, cyan, red, purple, don't show on black or white, don't show on pure grays, very visible on any flat color. Really bad when playing vidya.
What should I do besides buying a new monitor?

ah I see. it's under another shield so I didn't get down that far. you don't think it could be the ribbon at the top of the logic board failing?
