External screens are controlled by either the iGPU or the dGPU. If the main monitor malfunctions, the dGPU handles it, which might indicate a failing GPU that's worsening over time.
Most laptops connect external monitors straight to the GPU. In mid-range or budget gaming models without a mux switch, the internal display uses the built-in graphics even when the dedicated GPU is active. This might point to a problem with the integrated graphics. Yet, based on the image showing spreading white from the corner, it seems more likely a display fault rather than a GPU issue. Such a pattern doesn’t align with a failing GPU but fits a faulty LCD.
The screen is damaged. I recommend shutting it down to avoid any electrical issues before replacing the display.
The problem started with the screen, I swapped in a fresh one, but now I'm seeing some color issues—shades look muted and unnatural. Any suggestions on resolving this?
This tends to be typical—each screen often appears distinct in color quality. Some have richer cold tones while others lean toward warmer hues. The main solution is using color correction software; most systems include one, and I think the NVIDIA control panel likely offers a dedicated color adjustment feature.
