If they get too big, I'll send the monitor to you to take apart for interest, if you pay the international shipping fee.

Dig out your polarized sunglasses and see if you learn anything.

Is the polarizer replaceable? I can find a few people selling the film to
replace it, but I'm not sure how easy it is or if it's worth the bother.

It still seems strange I'm getting very accurate circles. Although

Nope, plenty of them are happy to walk themselves. When I was building the
house, one of the neighbours dogs used to have a regular circuit every
single
day, regular as clockwork, around the same route, sniffing and pissing in
the
same places every day. Hilarious to watch.
When I walked back to the place to pick up my car after getting a wheel
alignment done, came across a big alsatian out on its own doing something
very similarly with most of the trees and gates on the street verge, and
going right down the driveway of some houses and bailing up the dog
behind the gate at the end of the drive. Hilarious.

I currently have one of the neighbours cats that comes right into my house
most days. Doesn't shit or piss in the house, just has a good hunt around
for something to eat and now doesn't get anything because I make sure
to put any food scraps left over from the evening meal into the bin before
going to bed. Interesting to watch what it gets up to with my arlo movement
sensitive cameras which have a strong magnet on the base so its easy to
stick the cameras in various places with so much steel around the house.
Unusually the bugger showed up during the day last week, managed to
get between me and where it gets into the house and then panicked
when it noticed me. Very healthy looking cat, its clearly not a cat that
has been left behind when one of the renters in a neighbours house
has moved out and left it behind.
Shouting at it gets it to bugger off back the way it came in but
that doesn't stop it coming back another day. Currently toying
with the cat to see what works with that cat and what doesn't.

Yeah, me too. Like I said, likely some quirky sort of chemical effect
between cat piss and the plastic film that's the outer layer of the screen.
Interesting that they both start at the bottom edge, likely that's how
the piss got behind the outer layer, at that edge. But the other one
on the youtube is a completely different effect. Also round tho.
Also havent seen any reports of people ending up with
a problem using a damp cloth to clean their screens so
likely there is something in cat piss that reacts chemically.
Pass.
