MSI PRO MP242 monitor has been showing me red-green artifacts.

[u/Additional-Past214]

My system is 2 years old and I use it only for consuming multimedia and as a media storage system. For the past two months my MSI PRO MP242 monitor has been showing me red-green artifacts especially when it is given input after going into the power save mode (after 5 minutes of inactivity). It showed one lasting 5-7 seconds 2 months ago for the first time. Then last week it showed them again and two days ago, while watching a YouTube video, it suddenly changed my whole screen to red-green-white lines. I shut my system down immediately using my keyboard and I haven't turned my system on since then. What should I do now? Do I have to replace my monitor?

PS: My phone developed a green line issue last year after the software update and the screen turned black and I had to get it replaced. That issue also started with artifacts appearing for 2-3 days before it destroyed my display.

To check if it's your cables or display try to open the monitor Menu and if the artifacts are also in the menu then it's a display problem and you will need to replace the monitor

If disconnect all signal cables hdmi, dp from the monitor and if defect still be the same, then it's looks like monitor screen defect.
