Warning: This just fucked my 2k$ 4k LG display. I ran the website 15 minutes ago and quickly closed it after 15 seconds. My screen is still flickering in the portion of the screen where it used to be the webpage. I rebooted. Still happening

FML please put a big disclaimer.

Jeez, I'm really sorry, I hadn't thought of that. It worked fine on all my screens without any issue (I tried it on 3 different ones). I just added a warning about this. Sorry again, I hope your screen recovers.

It did the same thing to my monitor, which is NOT the program's fault. That's terrible hardware/hardware design if software can break it forever, especially if a webpage can do it... Someone could be so malicious with that.

My monitor has a built-in "LCD conditioning" thing, which just slowly flips through various solid color screens. That "fixed" it. I suspect a YouTube video doing the same would also work.

I had a weird app do this to my screen, and a 4K YouTube video of just that appeared to fix it fairly quickly.

What is going on? Burn-in is understandable but “the content on my screen flickered” should not be a breaking edge case.

[matei88]

found that something like this fixes it https://youtu.be/t6jlhqNxRYk?feature=shared&t=8468 just play it in full screen for a few seconds

worked like a charm. thank you so much!

If it's anything like my something something UltraGear LG monitor, disconnecting power for two minutes or so might help.

I had severe ghosting in the shape of YouTube's home page and disconnecting it solved the issue.

Apparently the type of panel they use tends to do stuff like that.

I have the same, but a thought crossed my mind that it somehow stimulates your vision so that you start seeing the flickering which is always there

[roflmaostc]

For me, I can exclude this. I only notice it on the now broken screen, four other screens are fine (where I did not run it).

Also my slow-mo phone video confirms it.

People are saying that that if you turn it off (maybe even unplug it) for 10 minutes, it goes away. Hopefully that's the case for you.

[dghughes]

Yeah I'd say unplug for sure it's amazing how many things can be solved by just unplugging something and letting any charge dissipate.

That was my go to trick when I was a slot tech at a casino. The old $50K/each slot machines often went crazy with errors some due to EEPROM "chip creep" other errors possibly static. So I just unplugged and waited ten minutes or so.
