Odd monitor artifacting?

XTankSlayerX

I've finally bought a new monitor, a Asus P8258Q

 

I was about to go to sleep, left to brush my teeth... And came back to this....... *Sigh*

 

I'm not sure what could be causing it but it gets worse if you push the monitor from the bottom of the screen (Tilting it toward you) and the issue goes away if you tilt it upwards... I haven't had this issue before, it's not my graphics card as the artifacting would show up in a screenshot right...?

 

I've tried different cables but it hasn't helped. It also happens during monitor boot and when  using the OSD.

Pictures below show the difference between pushing and pulling (lightly of course) and not touching it at all.

Pushing:

and pulling (Which fixes it, as does tilting it too far back. I Somehow managed to fix it for a minute or two but the problem  came back....

EDIT: Well then... touching the screen wasn't a good idea...

Yep. 

Artifacts from the moment it displays an image. 

Restarted the PC itself? Tried all the different ports on the graphics card and the monitor?

Yep, tried DP &  DVI. Restart doesn't help.

Unless someone else suggests anything, and if it's under warranty, I'd say return it and get a replacement. If not, then I don't know what you can do other than get a new one :/
