It started from the left side of the screen to toe right and I don't know how to fix it (if it can even be fixed)
If nothing changes, then it's probably damaged. Honestly, #1 pretty much says it's a problem with the panels or voltage regulators.
osd? like the menu were you press a button on the screen to choose the brightness n stuff of the screen?
Yes
ah ok, thanks. when i get home il check it and replace the hdmi cable if i need to
Have you tried power cycling it? Unplug the power cable from the monitor for 15 seconds and plug it back in. I've got a monitor that occasionally displays an really distorted image, and power cycling has fixed it every time (I've had it for like 9 years and it's been doing it for at least 7 years).
have you tried a different cable?
oh no i havent. dont tell me its my wii u branded hdmi cable thats the issue 💔
I've seen a similar glitch before, but the culprit was a VGA cable not plugged in firmly enough.
Since you're using HDMI, I'd probably start with reinstalling the graphics driver on your laptop.
i used to reinstall it every day when i played fallout 4 because without doing that, it would show a black screen. i think i need to get a new monitor
The last bullet you have is play this in video in full screen several minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VN-KIlsxxOw. It really works.
il remind myslef to do it when i get home, dm it to me so i remember
