Default very strange....

Has anybody ever gotten a bug in their screen? I believe it went through the vents and i can see it on the actual screen. It's the weirdest thing i've ever seen. I was thinking of using compressed air through the vents and see if that would work?

No, can't say that I've ever had a bug actually get into the monitor. Try the compressed, it seems like your best option unless you have experience with opening monitors.

Compressed air might work, but then it may damage the monitor if you hit the wrong spots. How big of a bug is it?

Haha, thats kind of funny. I thought it was like in the vents in the back of the screen where you could like open it up and get it. The posistion its in would make me wonder if opening it up and taking it out is the best idea.

You could try calling the company and see what they would suggest.

I've been around computers all my life and I've yet to see that. I'm really happy too because I just bought both of those screens. Super excited!
