    Hmmm one monitor i have at work had this but i don't remember well, I remember the problem was either the cable or one of the input/output connector.

    What is your monitor plugged with? HDMI? VGA or Display Port?

    *Thread title edited to include the subject and moved to more appropriate subcategory.

    As for the problem you're having, could it be as simple as a bad cable or incorrectly connecting it? Did you do anything in your PC settings that could have caused this? :dunno:.... It would be much more helpful to other members if you at least provided a brand and model of the monitor, plus perhaps add some information about how its connected, what you did prior that may have caused this (etc.), so we can better understand what is going on and offer some suggestions.

    If its a new monitor, I would check the manual, then the warranty, call customer service where you bought it and/or the manufacturer to figure out your options.

    Could be your refresh rate also. If you are running windows try and boot to safe mode and see if that fixes it.

    How old is your monitor, and how much did it cost? Many BenQ monitors are cheap products and only last a few years before they fail.

    If it isn't your cable/connector - might be your graphics card's VRAM.

    Is it a Video Card ?
    Remove it and clean the contacts, also check the extra power connector.

    In addition to what was already said, I'd also try a different port on your GPU/monitor. Different cable, different type of cable (HDMI vs display port for example), different port on monitor and GPU. Simple, cheapest stuff first.

    Also re seating everything as @GluBloB said would be one of the first things I try too.

    Not a cable issue.

    We clearly see square patterns :
    GPU or monitor motherboard

    test screen on another computer AND computer on another screen

    I have 3 BenQ monitors that are over 10 years old. Used for long periods every day.

    A friend of mine had a cheap Beng for around €100, which broke very quickly.
    How much did yours cost? Maybe it's just the cheap production.
