That's okay. I was just looking out for your privacy when you take the screenshot.
I can do everything you suggested except posting it on a picture hosting site.
It's very easy and you're already half-way there.
Once you've taken your screenshot and saved it somewhere on your PC where you can find it, you're good to go.
Now, go to postimages.org. It's a free site. Set up your account. (all you need is an email address)
Once that's done, I'll walk you through the final step.
If you can, make sure your heavy desk isn't sitting on the cable.
At this point that's what I'm hoping! And I never even thought of the cables until it was suggested on this thread.
If you can, make sure your heavy desk isn't sitting on the cable.
I don't think it is, but I could be wrong. The desk was here way before the computer was. At any rate when there's someone available to help me I'll check it out (unfortunately I'm disabled and not able to do a lot by myself).
Understood. Just wait for someone who can help you in person.
Go to Settings > Display > Advanced display settings
You can also turn HDR color settings on or off there which may or may not help.
At any rate, your monitor should be set to max resolution and refresh rate can make a difference too.

So many Great Quips!
My monitor had a similar problem, sort of a bleed thru coming across the screen from the LEFT margin smudging across the left side. Turned out to be the monitor power cable was sort of pulled out. Good luck!
Are you using the same cable, and if the vga that’s probably your problem.
How about replacing the ram modules? Most modern computers that don’t have dedicated video cards use main ram for video. Bad ram bad image quality. Most desktop computers have all the ram n dual inline memory modules. If you have two you can take one out and move the other to a different slot. Take one out, test replace one with the other, test replace both with brand new, etc
Have you tried changing your power cord to the monitor?
Somewhere along the way RAM modules often became soldered on the motherboard, in a bid to cut the cost of manufacturing.
OP is disabled, so the option to check for that possibility is reduced.
In any case, it is certainly a possibility but I haven't seen bad RAM modules in years.
Insufficient RAM, certainly. But not bad RAM.
...the third one ducked.
How old are we talking?
Is it a big monitor like an old old TV that is a big cube?
If it is, a magnet can cause odd things.
Computer speakers have magnets in them.
New speakers might have bigger magnets, hence new problem.
First lets determine nature of the rabbit hole we plunge into! :-)
Does the connector wire have a “D” shape and 3 rows of connector pins with screw ears to hold it in place?
That would be a VGA monitor. Old old but does what it does when it works!
Is it an HDMI connector? Most modern are likely HDMI.
Today if new it could also be Display Port (DP)
Do you still have the working but too small monitor to look at to determine cable without climbing on desk?
If it comes and goes it might be cable related.
When you used the smaller monitor that worked was the signal wire permanently connected to the display? (not the power wire)
Ideally we could have more specific information.
Windows can tell you your monitor type.
Windows can tell you your display card type.
I don’t use windows but you can google “how do I see what monitor I have windows 10”.
Most modern TV’s can be used as a computer monitor. They cost WAY WAY less than a ‘monitor’ and a 1080P HD TV (common size nowadays) is not very expensive.
Good point
Shaking the cable at its connection to the monitor suddenly alleviated the problem considerably, and I also noticed that whenever I put pressure on the plug to push it further into the monitor the bleeding actually receded and came back exactly with the position of the plug.
Someone is supposed to come help me with this today.
Again, thank you all.
Inasmuch as its happened on both computers, could it be related to power coming into the computer, or modem causing interference?
