"It grew from a tiny coloured blemish into a a horrid clump of death"
Seemingly a family member has pressed their finger against the corner of the screen. No, the computer isn't mine.
Dead-pixel fixing utilities don't work as the needed area is simply too large/they only flash smaller areas. Aside from the damp-cloth and pressure trick, is there anything else I can try? I doubt this will work as the cause of damage seems to be pressure.

I think it is dead, seems like someone applied A LOT of force to that bit of LCD. Sure the glass didn't break? Because if that's the case you'll for 100% sure not be able to fix this withouth replacing the frontend of the LD panel.
You could look for a same model but with broken backlights and then use that to fix this.
Btw, it's quite an "ART" to break your screen like that.

Indeed, it looks more like the LCD matrix has been crushed and irreversably damaged... your best bet is probably a new screen tbh...
While you could get another of that same model of monitor with a broken backlight and merge the two into one working unit as suggested above it's a lot of hassle and theres no guarantee it will work at the end of it.
EDIT: Oh, and.... is that mould growing on the corner of the screen? Looks like some sort of plant or something on the corner of the image...

It is dust - there is a gap between the frame and the final layer of the screen.

As in they'd have to hold the back of the monitor to apply enough pressure?

That looks like a magnate did that had same problem with my old tv
|
A magnet still could do that damage - but you'd need to hit the screen with it
Currently the black isn't getting any bigger but the colour distortion has spread. Will it continue to do so?
