Default Looks like tic tac toe lines on my screen.
I don't know how it happened. I don't know how to get rid of it. Anyone have any ideas?

Laptop? Wiggle the screen and see if it changes. The hinge connection might be worn or corroded. I get green pixels crawling through my image unless I shake the screen a bit.

Subscribed. I don't have any answers, but my older Samsung TV has vertical lines throughout the whole screen when I turn it on most of the time. They usually lessen and disappear within maybe 10 minutes or less, then I get the usual, crisp picture.

Have you unplugged it and let it sit for a bit? Next up hook to different source see if its the monitor or card/computer go from there.

First thing I would guess is magnetic flux interference. Perhaps a pair of speakers, router, or some other electric gizmo is sitting too close to the screen or the cable leading to it.

This leads me to believe he needs to repair the flux capacitor.
