I finally really found time to spend some quality time playing with my VB (thanks Christmas Holidays)! 😀

During this I noticed some very minor display glitch and would like to hear your opinion whether this is the infamous display glitch from detaching display cables or something else:

The glitch is only on the right monitor and only visible when there’s enough “red” on the screen (that is why I only noticed it after some more gaming). Then I see in the lower right corner two horizontal black lines, but they only block about one fourth and one eight of a line, respectively. What is a bit strange (and made me suspect that this is not the “normal” display glitch): These black/darker line(part)s move over the background graphic as if being in a different plane when I move my head up and down a bit. Is it possible for the detaching cable glitch to also give this kind of behaviour, or is it more likely that I have a small scratch somewhere in the optical path, what do you think?

Something else. Possibly a scatch or dust on the display window, lens or mirror. See also:

Thanks for pointing to the other threads – after reading this I’m definitely sure it is what is also described there. Since it is not really annoying in my VB in the moment, I will not dismantle it before something more serious sets in. But it is nice to know what is going on! 😀

What is still striking to me is, that it is absolutely affecting single lines and perfectly horizontal. If it is caused by dust I would have expected something less aligned…
