Hey everyone! I'm dealing with some display problems and can't quite tell if it's my monitor or my GPU that's acting up. Here's the scoop:
- **Monitor**: HP E231, bought second-hand in 2020, and it's been working fine for about 5 years.
- **GPU**: Palit GTX 1070 Ti, purchased new in 2021.
Lately, I've noticed some screen glitches and artifacts. Initially, I thought it was the cable, so I swapped it out, but the issues persist. Based on clean screenshots, do you think it's a failing monitor panel, or could the GPU be at fault? Would it be worth testing with another monitor before jumping to conclusions?

If you've already tried different connections and ports and the problem continues, it may be time to consider that the monitor is reaching its end of life. Unfortunately, without a spare monitor to try, it’s tough to diagnose for sure.
If you have an onboard graphics option, I'd suggest trying that out. If you notice the same glitches, it's likely the monitor that's the culprit. If it works fine with onboard graphics, then your GPU might need some looking into.
I would recommend checking with a different monitor to see if the issue persists. Also, try using different ports and cables on both the GPU and the monitor if you have any at hand. Another option is to plug the monitor into the motherboard's output to test the integrated graphics. This way, you can pinpoint the problem better.
