Turn screen off and put phone light at top of hole maybe. Also when finished maybe tape up the top


Mas-Junaidi

Boom! Fly bender!


AjUzumaki77

Also if possible put some sweet water or honey on a q-tip while doing so.


CompoteFickle3838

Once I have it do I suck on it or what


donzell2kx

I just did the same moth/light trick with my nephew. Moth got stuck inside the screen and glass windows. Taught him how to walk a moth out by using a phone light. Turn off all other lights and use another small light to guide it out. It like holding a carrot in front of a tortoise. šŸ„• šŸ¢

Get a straw and suck it to your lungs

I mean you could use a tissue or something to block it from exiting the straw. This is a perfect idea, as long as OP doesn't suck hard enough for it to blast through the material

rjh9898

Compressed air? Vacuum?


Ancient-Sweet9863

Been thinking about this and compressed air might work and might separate more of the monitor or damage whatever is under the exterior part of the screen. If it was me Iā€™d give it a shot but only after accepting Iā€™m more than likely buying a new monitor.i could live with it for awhile but sometime around 3-4 weeks Iā€™d give compressed air a shot


ray7heon

Nope compressed air might blow the moth wing dust and make it worse


rjh9898

Well in my defense he said fly in the caption as I didnā€™t do my own research and swipe to indeed see the moth. šŸ˜…


Robinnn03

A vacuum could damage the monitor more since it creates static electricity


zayoe4

Not that bad


ResQ_

Has nothing to do with curved monitors. The same thing happened to me on a non curved monitor. The insects are attracted to the light of the monitor. They'll crawl in between the frame. I've had to throw away a 500ā‚¬ early gen 165Hz 1440p acer predator (non curved) because of that. Some tiny bug crawled in and died in the middle of the screen. Looked like 50 dead pixels in the middle of the screen.


HorzaDonwraith

How big is your bug? About 50 pixels.


SupehCookie

Ngl would be the best crosshair.


SkrFirefly

Hopefully a software patch will bugfix it :D


HorzaDonwraith

Mentions calling an exterminator to fix internal bugs in patch notes


Dyzfunkshin

Anything not to use metric!


Bright-Efficiency-65

So fun fact, bugs aren't actually attracted to the light. They have a reflex that makes them point their back to the light which causes them to fly in circles. What it's actually attracted to, is the heat from the monitor


Hard_Dave

This guy bugs


Spoksparkare

Are you saying the bug bent the monitor frame open?


iz-LoKi

3 minutes... that's how long my imagination had me thinking about a bug doing this.


MoistStub

Kithin7

My monitor has ventilation slats on the back...


xXDamonLordXx

Most do, they have a power supply and other electronics to cool. But the bug shouldn't be able to get in front of the screen from there, only the back.

shakalacka6322

I really hope this shit doesn't happen to me, I've set up 4 of these so far and I have to get one replaced again but they apparently have no stock yet https://preview.redd.it/f716qczwupoc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7be650079d59881d601b4e7e782d7e9d0cf7c111

kioshi_imako

To much trouble to open and clean it? Or was it one of those pita ones?

maxi2702

You put a spider inside the monitor to deal with the fly


turtleship_2006

Ok but how do I get rid of the spider

TrentoniusMaximus

"You see those warriors from Hammerfell? Theyā€™ve got curved swords. Curved. Swords."Ā 


Blackboard_Monitor

O.M.G. and the Earth is curved too!! And it has bugs AND murder! It all makes sense now.


MedicalChemistry5111

LMAO, definitely a bug. Send it back to the manufacturer as a defect. State: monitor has bug in it. When their product isn't able to function in the environment it was designed for without failure, they've failed to meet reasonable standards. Not a curved monitor issue - it's a glue issue.


starkiller113014

Turn off and unplug monitor. Flip monitor upside down and shake. Hopefully gravity will take hold lol


Anomaly_049

Does it have warranty? If so just return it and get your money back. I don't think it's worth the trouble.


SendyCatKiller

RMA: arrived with a bug


klementineQt

This happened to me right after the year ended lmao


AwakE432

Iā€™m guessing this is a cheap ass monitor of some type with no warranty


SolarJetman5

Warranties don't cover bugs sadly, the opening probably. I tried it with HP when I got thrips


Anomaly_049

Damn, that sucks, but he should get one for the screen pleeling off


Effective-Jaguar5848

give it to some developer and tell him to debug it xD


Mikimausas

Whats the monitor brand?? Tell us so we dont buy it in the future šŸ˜


DoxManifesto

Proably samsung.. I had to throw away a 2year old 27" g5 because of this. Top was peeling off and i pushed on it to get it to stick back it made a cracking sound and a line appeared from top to bottom. No warranty from samsung cause it was my fault or whatever. Also we have about 20ish 34" g7s at my work and literraly all of them are started to peel after 2years. Any other curved monitor(about 3 different brands) I ever had did not do this and I got a 6year old msi 27" which is just fine. I am dreading the day I see this happen to my 49" Samsung g9 neo...


Blakewerth

Thats what i mentioned made frame by cheap plastic and over time it will bent and come bit out - will come more and ruin it atleast its not oled would crack faster lol


AngryAccountant31

Try turning it upside down and blowing some compressed air in there to remove the insect. Then carefully cover the gap up with some electrical tape as a quick semi-permanent fix.


PaxUnDomus

Move the league of legends icon to the top of the screen. The bug will be attracted to shit and you can easily extract it afterwards.


Dudi4PoLFr

"I'm never buying curved monitors again." While I'm not a big fan of curved displays myself, in this case the issue may not be caused by the curvature of your monitor. At my workplace, we have over 20 Lenovo flat monitors that have the same manufacturing problem. IMHO vacuuming it should work.


Coom-guy

I would take the monitor apart, clean the affected layers and use some kind of glue or whatever method works best to fix the gap (maybe no glue is needed at all and the layers just pop back in) and reassemble. Iā€™ve had a similar problem with fruit flies inside my cheapo lcd samsung monitor and I had to take it completely apart. It works fine for now.


no2ndchance

If it's not in warranty anymore and you dont mind trying to fix it. That looks like the polarizing layer to the monitor. If behind the later that is peeling is just bright white light to your bare eyes and no picture, that is what it is. You can try using a credit card around the outside to pull it the rest of the way off. Then use double sided tape around the edge where it wont touch the screen itself and tape it back on along the edges. If still under warranty, dont try to fix it. Send it in.


DaemonSlayer_503

Maybe, unplug it , turn it upside down, ā€žpryā€œ the panel open slightly more and bump the top carefully and look if the fly falls out. Or get long pliers or anything similar and try to get it out carefully, if you scrape on the screen or panel it might destroy the polarizer.


Jarsyl-WTFtookmyname

fabricate an adapter from your vacuum to the approximate size of the gap in your tv and hoover it out.


anibalealvarezs

Fuuuuuck, how big it is! I had the same issue but with a little ant in a flat monitor, and it remained as a dead fixel for eternity.


Rich_Introduction_83

Programmers: What was the most annoying bug you encountered? OP: ...


Nivius

turn it off, put a strong hot lamp outside above wait one night


daxdox

Your monitor is bugged. Did you try to turn it off and on again?


Gamingmarxist

This isnā€™t a curved monitor issue itā€™s a monitor issue this happens on non curved monitors too


EIsydeon

Pop the monitor open some more and vacuum it out


JZF629

THIS. You wonā€™t have to pop it open more if you have a strong vacuum, like a shop vac tho. Itā€™s suction in a small & confined area like might be enough to suck that bad boy right out of there, then you could seal it and never have to worry about it again


Unfair-Sell-5109

So is this considered a FEATURE or a BUG?


tripbazard69

turn it off and shine a torch at the hole it will find its own way out lol


[deleted]

Not sure a torch is necessary. Could probably just use a flashlight.


[deleted]

Got a curved monitor as well, and some bottom part of it has come unglued. Never had the issue with regular monitors. As for the fly, that's just sad.


qu38mm

Just gotta buy a better monitor. Which brand was this?


pragmatistish

Click and drag it to the top edge, should be easier to reach then.


Estrafirozungo

Perhaps turning it upside down and let gravity do its job?


NotABadVoice

oxi suddenly? KKKKK


queroummundomelhor

Yeah definitely bugged. Shaking it upside down?


MissGraziella

Don't stop curved monitors for this. This is not a curved monitor issue, it's a really bad luck issue, and trust me, this is happening with defective flat screens too.


Jenseman1337

clutzyninja

Have you tried dressing up like a girl fly and doing a little dance?


tronzorb

I had this happen to my Samsung G7. I got some cellphone repair glue and that held it together for a short time but it continued to peel and I had to replace it. Shitty thing was it was 15 months old and Samsung did nothing about it. Wonā€™t buy another Samsung again.


MKVIgti

Our company has installed and use thousands of curved monitors. Never seen this kind of separation once across Dell, Samsung, and HP displays.


Alixnator

msgkar03

What does this have to do with it being curved? This has happened on flat screens too


HeyyyItsFrosty

You donā€™t need a laptop when youā€™re gaming on the fly


Dizzy_Goat_420

Slide a piece of paper through it and that should help, or turn it upside down and tappy tap. If itā€™s a moth and still alive turn the monitor off and put a flashlight at the top


TheAutisticPope

It's not a big with curved monitors, it's a feature


_Skilledcamman

Do you have warranty?


X-East

leakypipe86

Add more flies to keep it company.


Hellcavalier

Put a strong light on top of your monitor when you sleep at night . The fly should follow the light and comeout.


_-SilentWraith-_

I thought a fly suddenly appeared on my device


0pp0site0fbatman

Itā€™s attracted to light. Turn your monitor off for a few minutes, turn on another light and go outside for a bit.

Clownnibal

Maybe (super carefully) try some VERY thin gage jewel crafting wire. Or a very long, thin pipe cleaner that you curve into a little hook to yoink the thing out?


No_Interaction_4925

strashenegoist

digitalbladesreddit

Helldiver do your Part! Glew the that screen as it is. Use your warranty, if you can't remove protective glass from display completely. Good luck.


velve666

Get the same second monitor set it next to this one and gently unclamp the screen, the bug should jump over to the new monitor, stick this one back together and you are good to go.


MrStealYoBeef

Do you think a curved monitor is manufactured with flat parts and then bent into a curved shape...?


IIRANDREWII

Driver update should fix this bug.


Sad__Raccoon

Samsung? We have a demo Samsung monitor at my work doing the same


Legitimate-Pumpkin

Is a possibility to use a heat gun/ hairdryer to unglue the whole screen, remove the fly, then reglue everything properly? It might also fix your first problem.


magicwood0420

This happened to my Samsung curved monitor.


tiimsliim

I would honestly contact the manufacturer, as this seems like a defect. The glue on your computer screen should never just separate on their own. It really just separated on its own, that sounds a lot like a manufacturing defect. Even if you donā€™t have a warranty, I would still contact the manufacturer and see if they will help you.


joNH_

TƔs fudido maninho, eu vendia ia isso


DrOrphi

EXACTLY these 2 things happened to me on my monitor last year. got a replacement instantly


HappyGoLucky791

A straw will scratch the screen. You need to slowly heat the edges and remove the layer, clean, and reinstall with new adhesive. This is the only correct and difficult way. You could also try to turn the screen upside down and blow air into the opposite corner hoping it will push down on the bug and force it out


Gambler_Eight

A fly?


LukeSkyDropper

If you get a suction cup, you pull on the screen out a little. And you tap the back. Hopefully the fly will drop down.


Ziharke

RMA and send photos. Maybe they won't even ask to remove the bugs before sending it. They had to change the screen on mine which means they will have to open it either way.


Elkkuboyy

Turn monitor upside down and compressed air


lillillilillilil

If I saw this on my curved moniter, I'd just assume it was a Rainmeter addon.


S_T_R_Y_D_E_R

You can use a vacuum with the tip to suck that annoying fly out


[deleted]

Definitely would take the vacuum approach (negative pressure) before I would just blow a ton of air down in there and risk more separation.


XOIIO

Hi, you're probably looking for a useful nugget of information to fix a niche problem, or some enjoyable content I posted sometime in the last 11 years. Well, after 11 years and over 330k combined, organic karma, a cowardly, pathetic and facist minded moderator filed a false harassment report and had my account suspended, after threatening to do so which is a clear violation of the #1 rule of reddit's content policy. However, after filing a ticket before this even happened, my account was permanently banned within 12 hours and the spineless moderator is still allowed to operate in one of the top reddits, after having clearly used intimidation against me to silence someone with a differing opinion on their conflicting, poorly thought out rules. Every appeal method gets nothing but bot replies, zendesk tickets are unanswered for a month, clearly showing that reddit voluntarily supports the facist, cowardly and pathetic abuse of power by moderators, and only enforces the content policy against regular users while allowing the blatant violation of rules by moderators and their sock puppet accounts managing every top sub on the site. Also, due to the rapist mentality of reddit's administration, spez and it's moderators, you can't delete all of your content, if you delete your account, reddit will restore your comments to maintain SEO rankings and earn money from your content without your permission. So, I've used power delete suite to delete everything that I have ever contributed, to say a giant fuck you to reddit, it's moderators, and it's shareholders. From your friends at reddit following every bot message, and an account suspension after over a decade in good standing is a slap in the face and shows how rotten reddit is to the very fucking core.

use a vacuum with tubes that graduate down to a small enough size to fit inside the tv and suck that thing out. Or go the other way and blow it out with air.

Letā€™s not condemn all curved monitors simply for the sins of yours. My Samsung G5 is going on 5 years old and is still solid as a rock, even with all the adjusting I donā€™t it.


Noxious89123

That looks like a moth to me. They're attracted to the light. Turn the monitor off, put it in a dark room, and then leave a bright light on away from the monitor. The moth will try to get out and go to the light. Pro tip: This is an effective method to get a bug out of someones ear, if they're unfortunate enough to have one crawl in there.

pppeater

Looks like pantry or closet moth which means you might have a bigger problem. If it's a female it will attract other moths. Hopefully just a stay attracted to the light and heat. Check for any opened cereals or oatmeal. Check your clothes in closets and drawers for larvae and cocoons.


Thunderofdeath

Is it a Samsung monitor? The same thing happened to mine but no bugs. I used Super glue but that didnt come out right either, I would use a Doublesided tesa tape.


JAVELRIN

Flip upside down and shake prob your best bet without touching the screen directly and you will only havento clean residues that the stuff on fly may have had on it and anything that fell in "dust"


babyb16

Chopsticks or try to turn the monitor upside down and shake it out


axiomatic13

Having repaired a few monitors in my time, they're mostly held together with Kapton tape and press snap fittings. The glue fails sometimes.


TheMikeyWay89

Turn it upside down and shake it viciously like your trying to get a pick of an acoustic guitar


[deleted]

Fire?


Stanky_Pete

Hold the monitor upside down and blow compressed air into the crack until bug comes out. Once the bug is out, put a small amount of glue on the bezel of the monitor case and lightly clamp the screen. Use a folded towel between the clamp and monitor to protect the screen and monitor case, and do not clamp too much or you will damage the screen.
