Well, it's either something on the screen or perhaps the back light has a problem.

FWIW, I'm really ticked at Samsung. Have had two monitors go south shortly after 3-year warranty was past. Have a 940A that I'll swap you for the 940N as I don't know when it will work - sometime it will, some times it will display nothing - the latter being most prevalent. Recently replaced it with a ViewSonic 24" WS. My Acer and Hanns-G bought about same time as the 940A, still going strong (3 + years). Rant over - continue.............

I have four of the Hanns-G 19" monitors, bought them over three years ago for $129. They've worked flawlessly all that time, no complaints here.

The backlight is internal to the monitor and would show up no matter what the room lighting is. Magnetic items will have no effect on an LCD screen.

This sure sounds like the backlight to me.

Hard to say, but it may not be cost effective.

Is it possible that a liquid has crept in during cleaning? If so, here is a link to a similar situation with a laptop and how it was remedied: http://www.laptoprepair101.com/lapto...ok-lcd-screen/
