Question

Half of my screen is tinted grey! Help!

Suddenly half of my lenovo LI2721s flatscreen monitor is shaded grey. I can read through it, but it is annoying. Anything I can do to fix this?! I would greatly appreciate any help!

Unplug it and and let the monitor sit a for awhile, than plug it back in and see if it still acts up.
If it does..... Try another monitor and see if it still happens.
After that , if it still happens, it could be other things but, I'll have to defer to the pros. here to go deeper but , maybe these questions will give them a head start.

I have to learn to leave the Enter key alone lol

Thank you very much for the suggestion! Unfortunately, it didn't take care of the problem. I appreciated the idea, though!

another monitor ? If so, and it still happens all I can think of would the GPU or maybe another cable of the same type you're using

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried a different cable, and it didn't make a difference. I have dual monitors, the 2nd one is OK. I don't know how to deal with it if it is a GPU issue. The good news is that it's not bothering me as much as it did at first!

Don't you think that little piece of info would have helped in your opening thread ?
