If you connect something like a DVD player to it, is the black still there? That way you can figure out if it is a GPU or monitor issue. Likely it is a monitor problem, I've seen things like happen before to screens sadly. Stuff like this can often happen if something hits a screen, wrecking a large region of pixels.
So i have a Multi-Monitor setup, and my second monitor Is perfectly fine. No blackness or anything it. I forgot to add in earlier i spilled some water on my monitor, and i had my 6 year-old help me wipe it off. I think he may have hit it to hard with the towel. Is it possible that it could have been him.
Possibly. Do this, swap the monitor cables so what was the left monitor make the right monitor. If the black is on the same monitor it is a monitor problem.
Well, I cannot do that. My second monitor is an old gateway FDP1830 that is using a VGA cable. My new monitor is using a HDMI, which the FDP monitor doesn't have. So i cannot switch these two. However, i know for sure that it is a monitor problem, because i have plugged it in to my other computer at my house and the same blackness appears. Are there any tutorials on how to fix this (some suggestions have been to replace the LCD panel, whatever that means)?
