It started from the left side of the screen to toe right and I don’t know how to fix it (if it can even be fixed)

        I’ve seen a similar glitch before, but the culprit was a VGA cable not plugged in firmly enough.

        Since you’re using HDMI, I’d probably start with reinstalling the graphics driver on your laptop.

          i used to reinstall it every day when i played fallout 4 because without doing that, it would show a black screen. i think i need to get a new monitor

    Have you tried power cycling it? Unplug the power cable from the monitor for 15 seconds and plug it back in. I’ve got a monitor that occasionally displays an really distorted image, and power cycling has fixed it every time (I’ve had it for like 9 years and it’s been doing it for at least 7 years).
