I noticed a little spec on my monitor. Upon closer inspection it started moving. I literally have a bug of some sort under my display. I don't dare press it otherwise it will squish between the screen and display (if that makes sense) how could this be possible? I'm not a dirty person lol. The wife is a clean freak so everything is always spotless.

Yup a thunder bug, had it many times with my monitors in the past, I stupidly pressed it quite hard once and killed it in the screen... wasn't the best thing I have ever done.

They are quite normal in this kind of head and seem to be masters at getting into the screen, just have to hope it moves lol
 
I've had this happen before, it's not uncommon.

Unfortunately I can't remember how I got rid of it! Have you tried erm... shaking it?

It is very good to be clean but there is also something called Murphy's law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy's_law
I guess that is the reason for the bug.

TBH, looking at how large your pixels are, how about buying a 4K monitor? :D
 
As soon as you see one of those things in your monitor turn it off right away. They are attracted to the light so hopefully it will find its way back out.

It should be OK if it has GPS, otherwise it might get lost.
