Hey there, so while I was going through a lecture recording, these two lines popped up unexpectedly on my screen (check the photo). Nothing unusual happened—it's been sitting here for two months. I just glanced up from my iPad and noticed them suddenly. They show up for DP, HDMI, USB-C, and even the MSI logo on the boot screen. Resolution changes didn’t help either; I unplugged the power and let it sit for a few seconds, and they stayed. Any suggestions would be really appreciated

You might want to test with another device such as a different computer or player to verify the lines remain intact. It seems there’s a faulty connection in the cable linking the logic board to the LCD panel, and possibly a failing chip on the board. Fixing this could be challenging unless you’re familiar with modern TV internals. Opening the unit is risky due to fragile plastic components and flexible cables. Consider getting a quote from a repair shop, which is likely the safest option. Always confirm if the monitor is still covered by warranty—then it could be MSI’s responsibility to repair or replace it.
I think the panel stopped working, but it's likely due to a weak link between the panel and the driver board.
Thanks a lot! It's just been a few months, so I might choose to return to Costco or go with the MSI warranty if needed.
I would have loved having that in my shop. I never realized two perpendicular lines could appear together—it feels similar to the same ratio on the monitor.
