    Hey so to make this quick I've recently bought a refurb. G73JH from best buy and after about 6-7 months of use the screen suddenly has a blueish tint that's grainy. I've tried numerous things like updating drivers, bios etc but nothing seems to resolve the issue. I plugged in another monitor and the colors we're fine, there was no blue tint. I've messed around with the color settings a bit and turns out when i turn on the brightness up a lot it reduces the look of it, but pictures and videos still have the tint on them.

    Can anybody help

    I tried the method and the lines are fine, it's really like a dark blue grainy tint that appears on most blacks of the screen, and when I turn the brightness up a lot, it covers it up

    but when I boot my g73 on the asus and windows loading screen the black has the blue grainy tint to it

    Is it because of a faulty video card? I don't think so cause on another monitor everything's fine (the card runs 60c-85c)

    anyways im thinking about a screen replacement

    May be a faulty connection between the LCD and mainboard. Could you take a pic of the problem?

    bump of desperation

    if this can help, only the blacks are messed up with the blue tint. When I play BFBC2 for example, only the black textures have the blue tint over it

    You could try checking whether the display cable is seated right.

    I would guess it's the LCD controller, can't think of any other possibilities. Dunno if you can get it separately from the LCD.

    AFAIK, the LCD controller is attached to the screen. It comes with it. If you replace the screen you'll have a new controller. It might be cheaper to replace just the controller, but I have no idea if that's possible or not.

    Sorry, I'm no expert on the JH. I hope someone else will chime in.
