I purchased an FHD2400 about a year and a half ago, and have been very pleased with it so far. Unfortunately, I left home for the weekend, and came back to find the screen full of snow (!). Colors are off, and everything looks pretty terrible. It's out of the warranty period now, so any repairs would be straight out of my wallet... First I'd at least like to try to figure out what's wrong for my own uses.
Half of the house began having intermittent power outages toward the end of last week. The monitor and my main computer were on part of the failing circuit, and I turned off the surge protector they're attached to before I left, so that shouldn't have anything to do with it, but I can't be sure. When I came back the snow was very noticable, as well as some of the scanlines. After initially turning it on, it went back to normal briefly after it was all booted up, but then returned to snow not long after. Playing with various settings (for example, Overdrive, refresh rate) makes the snow worse, or at least a somewhat different pattern, but does nothing to get it back to a normal clear picture. The snow is visible across all inputs, so it is definitely the monitor that's having problems.
Something like this is probably very difficult/impossible to fix by myself, but if anyone has any ideas as to what the problem is or some other tests I can do, please let me know. I'd like to avoid getting a new monitor or at the very least keep the repair bill as low as possible.
