Is there anyway to repair or I need to get a new monitor?

try this simple way just unplug your monitor for a long period a day or when you go to sleep , unplug the monitor both power cables and video cables then tomorrow reconnect it , if this not work, by a new one.

look for something electrical near your monitor. Could be a fan, an electrical cable, sometimes a lamp, anything electrical within approximately a 1 foot radius of the monitor. Monitors operate on magnetic prinicpals and any wire with electricity running through it generates magnetic fields.
Gauss as another poster mentioned could be at fault.
Also, if you have any magnets near the monitor, they should go too.
If you want to test this out, take a low power magnet (like one from the fridge) and move it slowly towards the monitor. The screen will distort more as the magnet gets closer.
Good luck!

It happens to tv's also. Make sure that there is nothing next to your computer monitor that has a magnet. If it's too close, then that will cause it to discolor on one side depending on which side the product that has the magnet is on. If it's not that, then your monitor might need to be replaced.

Buy a new monitor. You can always test a 2nd monitor on your computer from one of your friends or whatever. Getting your monitor repaired wouldn't even be worth it.

maximum CRT's have a "degauss" function in the OSD setup. that's going to look as though a finger with a line by it. (from time to time it rather is an independant button) usually utilising this function various cases will reason the unit to reset sufficient to allow for magnetic redistribution. regrettably there is an probability that the unit is completely broken. As a final ditch attempt I even have known some who used an extremely stable magnet to "shift" the distortion, until it became no longer there with a mushy consistent circulate, yet that technique is somewhat iffy and from time to time leads to extra harm than sturdy.

are your speakers right next to your monitor? The magnet in them can cause your monitor to fade in one spot.

buy a new one. if repaired there are chances that the problem will come back in a month or two. so better buy a new one instead of repairing.

Your monitor has gauss. (electromagnetic buildup) you need to degauss.
There should be a button on the front that should do it. Look for a horseshoe symbol.

Make sure you don't have an unshielded speaker or other strong magnetic field near your monitor.

Mine does that when I move it a lot. It comes back in about 45 minutes. Hope it's nothing to serious!!!
