Windows 10: Need help with a display issue

My old Samsung SyncMaster B2030 is showing something I don't know how to name, so I'll say it's like a galaxy of small shiny white dots.









Can you please explain what is that and what can I do to fix it, should it have any fix?

TIA.

Windows 10 Pro 20H2 19042.746
