Notice the black shadow spots on the upper left side and the middle of the monitor. I can still use the monitor fine even in the middle of the screen. However, the top left area with the shadow makes it hard to look at it. I read this is a backlight issue? I'm not sure exactly how this happened but I might have pressed on that area too hard which caused this when moving the monitor.

Do I have any dead Pixels on the monitor?

I bought this monitor for around close to $500 USD or so. I paid a lot more than usual because this is outside the US.

How much is this monitor worth if I sell it at this condition? For reference, it would cost about $435 USD at the moment here brand new. Because of this condition, is it worth about $50-$150? I know in the US, this wouldn't even be worth more than $50 maybe? The first picture is how it looks when I lock the computer so you don't really notice any shadows. If I'm visiting websites with a nonwhite background, it's definitely usable. I'm looking to sell it and am curious how much it's worth.
