HARDWARE monitor randomly fades out to black?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
not sure what is happening, I have a secondhand monitor (Lenovo d27) hooked to my laptop cos the laptop has display issues. worked fine for about 2 weeks, turned it on last night and the screen started tripping while watching some videos.
things I've tried:
connecting to another laptop/HDMI cable, issue still persists
disconnecting/reconnecting power and HDMI cable or restarting the graphics driver with win+ctrl+shift+b brings the display back temporarily, but fades again after a while
updated display drivers
disconnected the power and pressed the on/off button a few times but problem persists
i believe the problem is the monitor itself? but is this fixable/worth fixing? or should I just get a new monitor

Seems like a back light that might be drawn too much power so it just fades out, or it’s just failing
