little green dots all over my monitor

Tiny green speckles started showing on my monitor, mostly in dark scenes in games and films. Screenshots look clean. Tried a different DisplayPort cable, no change. Monitor dying or graphics card?

Take a screenshot and look at it on your phone. Dots in the screenshot means it's the graphics card or driver. Screenshot clean means it's the monitor or the cable. For the monitor side, swap the cable first, a loose or cheap HDMI can throw sparkly green pixels. If the dots never move and stay in the same spots, those are stuck pixels on the panel. Lots of them is a warranty job.
