Hi.
I haven’t used the computer in a few days and today when I fired it up, my screen susdenly had a dark spot see photo.
Is it fixable or is it a lost cause ?

Looks like it is the screen itself, as the other monitor is unaffected.
Some quick tests to verify; unplug black spot monitor - does left monitor still looks good?
Plug back in the black spot one and unplug good monitor - does black spot remain?

You could also plug them both in, and change from Extended mode (your current setting) to Duplicate mode and see where the black spot goes (Windows key + P to change modes).
 
The second monitor is fine in all tests.
The faulty monitor has a dark spot without any input, with just the power cable in it.
visible against its own black.

As such I’m guessing it’s a physical issue with its backlight in that zone. I have no idea what to do with that hypothesis unfortunately.
