    LCD monitor dead?

    The monitor is just showing vertical lines of different colors, white black red green etc and sometimes a chunk of the same color, that's all it shows from boot until I turn the computer off. The lines and colors don't change or move. Does this mean the monitor is dead and beyond saving?
