What is showing on that display is damaged. It consists of local screen artifacts that are completely internal to that display. That pattern can not be displayed anywhere else.

If that was not your fundamental question, you will need to be more precise in your words -- that is all we have to go by.


Also, what TV is being used, and what cables, adapters, and docks are you using to make the connection?
