What's the odds that such an obscure problem happens to someone with the patience and wherewithal to figure it out *and* fix it? Pretty impressive.

I did consider replacing the screen, but the only source I could find was China with 60 day delivery by boat, and I decided to find a workaround till the screen arrived... The screens now arrived, but the workaround is so good I can't be bothered to fit it.
It’d be wonderful if we were in a world where working things like this out was worthwhile. I shudder to think how many perfectly working monitors are dumped each year, let alone ones with problems like this.
It’s probably not all that obscure. There’s an awful lot of ewaste.
