No matter what I view, I see these lines to the right of a dark object on my screen.

I was able to make a example of what I see:

I don't know how accurate that is, but it should give you an idea of what I'm seeing.

I don't see this effect on the Asylum because it's too dark. But basically bright and mid-tones colors give off those lines.

I was told we had a surge yesterday (or the day before that) so I'm thinking that could've had a part in it, in addition, that's around the time it started. It sometimes goes away or isn't as strong as it is at other times.

Do I have to replace my monitor to fix it?
