Greetings! I once again come asking for advice. Today I have noticed that my gaming laptop's monitor (the same item) has yet another defect. In this case, it's a greyish discolouration on the lower left corner of my monitor. This discolouration isn't visible on any intensely coloured background, however it is noticeable on black. What is the cause of the problem, and how do I fix it?
Worth noting is that the discolouration disappears when I press the edge where it is on slightly.

And to answer the previous post about the whirring sound: it turns out that the cooling system was defective, so it was replaced.

Is the display OLED?

It's certainly an IPS monitor, although I don't know whenether or not that classifies as OLED...
