Question about IPS panels

Do all Cheap IPS panels have faint lines over blue, yellow and orange colors on higher Hz? I recently got a cheap LG IPS monitor, the colors are pretty good but it has these annoying vertical lines over the entire screen when i use frequency higher than 50hz, on 75hz it is absolutely, on 60hz it is ok at a distance but at 50hz it pretty much fixes it. These lines are really annoying and can only be noticed on blueish and other light colors like light green, yellow, etc. I have been searching and there is only one forum online talking about this issue (this forum) and some say that it is exclusive to all cheap lg panels, so any brand using cheap lg panels would suffer from it. I have searched for reviews on youtube about the same monitors and other cheap ips around the same price and none of the videos except for 2 videos were people complaining about these vertical lines. One of the videos was an indian guy talking about that and the other was the channel "the techne" talking about a cheap LG IPS monitor. i am really confused by whether it is an inevitable problem that all cheap ips panels will suffer (even if some less or some more) or it is just a defective problem. How come none of the reviews have this issue? is it a defective one? Well, i am planning on exchanging it for another one that is also IPS but i am kinda afraid of buying another panel that has the same issues. I have discovered recently that Samsumg uses PLS panels but, on their official website, they have changed over item description and specs from PLS to IPS, does that mean Samsung is also using IPS panels from LG? I was happy samsung was the only escape to this issue but now they are using cheap ips panels as well?

I am not gonna buy a 144hz monitor that pretty much fixes it due to lack of money at the moment, but i pretty sure need to know about these panels and if anyone ever bought or had any problems with any cheap ips panels on the market.

Thanks in advance if you read all of this and you will be a lot of help if you can answer any of these questions.

Samsung PLS is the same as IPS. It's just their name for it. Afaik there is no general problem with budget IPS monitors. I've used quite a few $100-$150 IPS monitors in the last few years and none of them had this problem. Yours seems to be a defective unit.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

Oh really? Because it does not appear to be a deffect, it is pretty regular all over the screen, appears to be the type of panel used. A lot of people in a subreddit said they replaced 3 times the same monitor and all of them had it and that it happened to all newer cheap IPS Panels. So it appears that older cheap ips panels dont have this problem but the newer ones do.

Again, i used plenty of cheaper IPS monitors - old and new - and i never encountered this problem. It might be this particular panel that is used in this particular monitor model. Just buy another model and you'll likely not have this problem again.

Oh i understand but, it is pretty much gambling at this point, i have seen other models and people complaining about the lines so i just do not know what to buy, i wanted an LG monitor or samsung but now i just do not know what to buy and what to expect:(
