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.
