Trying to resurrect an 49″ Samsung CHG90 monitor that shows horizontal lines when cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some owners are using a hair dryer<\/a> to warm up the monitor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem appears to get worse over time, taking it longer for the lines to disappear. It of course does not help when the monitor is in an unheated room in winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replacing the t-con (timing controller?) once seemed to resolve it for a while, but after a couple of years the problem is back again. I bought both mine on eBay<\/a>, but it appears Aliexpress<\/a> also carries them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This seems to be a very common issue with Samsung monitors looking at the threads on various discussion<\/a> boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First challenge is getting into the back of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
