Hi,

Monitor model: LG W2220P (22"WS LG.Display e-IPS (LM220WE4))

I have a problem that appeared couple of months ago and i don't know what it is... it looks like a dark streak and it's very visible when i start the monitor but after few minutes becomes less visible (barley visible to be more exact). It's not from exterior but from inside so it's not dirty or something like that (i know how to take care of a monitor) - yet, wish it was then i would just clean it... but as mentioned above it's easy to notice once you start the monitor and then few minutes latter seems to be gone, it's barley visible if you concentrate on that spot - showing like a transparent version of what it was before.

I have some screenshots here and also a video:

Could get worse... still have warranty for this monitor so if there is no other way I'll send it to warranty... was hooping i could avoid that for "obvious reasons" - as in "not sure on which hands it might end-up and how clean they work" - other than that the monitor is great and i took real good care of it (not a single scratch on it, no sneezing in monitor direction, no fingers on LCD, cleaned of dust with recommended cleaning rug) and that's why I'm kinda worried about warranties and the way it could be handled - this being a monitor which is quite sensible compared to other PC components (like a Ram module - for example)... this is probably one of the hardest process (not all monitors are build the same way) for a technician and many things could go wrong when fixing it.. since this won't go to LG but to the local warranty service from the store that sold me the monitor.

Any idea on what it can be and an advice on what i should do next... cause honestly, this looks worst in reality than it those on those pictures or that video - quite visible on dark colors less visible on white (or even pure dark).

Thanks in advance.
 
I had a dell ips that did this exact same thing. Its either heat or moisture (or maybe a little of both) regardless, if you still have warrenty, send it in now. there is no way to fix it, it will only get worse
 
It's delaminating. Get it returned for service/replacement.
 
Weird - cause after being ON for few minutes it's on i barely noticed it... on with background is invisible.

- any idea of the cause for this?

... cause other that that it's a great monitor.

Crappy LG quality. I've seen this reported with several different monitors, all with LG IPS panels.
