You need to set Panning to same as ViewPortIn: nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1920x900, ViewPortOut=1920x900+0+180, Panning 1920x900}" You currently have Panning set to 1920x1080.
Could you not swap one of the good driver chips with the bad one? If the lines change position to the section controlled now by the assumed defective driver then it is indeed defective. If not, you at least know it's not the driver (likely it is though)
i'm more impress by your working G4 than anything else ... did you never run into the breaking rom issue ? or fix it yourself ? mine being in very good state, i would love to bring it back from death :(
i think you should be able to set something in the kernel and then get even the ttys to work correctly but i assume this would mess up hardware rendering or something
Hello. I know chances are low.... but my not very old Samsung 50 inch IT is started to act similar, also in my case it's a second block, from the top. And from what I hear - i'ts a fairly common problem for Samsung screens. It's not as bad as what you have shown in the video, but noticeable enough, so when I'll have some free time I'm planning to disassemble my TV (it's being used as a second monitor-informer on my Debian) and try to fix it. Worst case - I'll buy myself a new one. Anyway I wanted to ask you - what would the best way of approach in this case, I do realize it's a bad connection on the border of the matrix. If you have any homegrown tips and/or trick - I would've appreciate it greatly. P.S. Love you channel. Both channels in fact.
The only solution I found to work on Windows, was to use DisplayFusion. 15% of my screen had turned black on one side, but DisplayFusion allowed you to circumvent that by restricting the virtual desktop to the area of the screen that actually still works. I still had issues with fullscreen applications, so most games would have to be played in windowed mode.
There are Windows drivers to enable you to move the image around on the screen to compensate for damage to the display like this. Some video card drivers come with that function built in (Many AMD cards). Helps with laptops as well since you can continue using a laptop with a broken corner of the screen just fine.
The Japanese made far superior Plasma panels. My parents had a Pioneer and then years later bought a Samsung, probably this exact one actually. Same experience with the burn-in.
I'd same same for Panasonic FHD projectors from the same era.. Also microwaves (I have both, a AE2000 and a Panasonic inverter microwave with a grill made in the UK!)

Sure but thats a lot of work and assuming you can buy the IC.
Great to see / hear yah again .. where yah been !!! MOre videos please ;)

happy to see you back :D
Winner winner, chicken dinner, Muriel.
Keep it up.
I always wondered about this before throwing out old TVs.
That surely looks like a dead driver chip. They can be had cheaply on Aliexpress. You should try replacing it!
How can you tell is 180 pixels?
