Flickering Vertical Lines on a brand New Monitor

[Acention]

I just purchased and Recieved an Asus VG278HE. Plugged it in and had vertical lines appear throughout the whole screen. These line at first went away after about 10 seconds and I figured I didn't have the DVI cables seated correctly so I made sure that they were plugged in and tight. These lines appeared both on the desktop and on the Asus logo when I turned the monitor off and then back on.

The problem came back about about an hour or so later and this time stayed for about 2-3 mins and then proceeded to flicker between normal and the vertical lines.

I am running a dual monitor setup with two EVGA GTX 570's and the second monitor displayed no problems while this was happening on the main monitor. Any help would be appreciated, I am thinking the monitor may be bad and have to go back but figured I would see if anyone had any advice before that. Thanks.

did you try this one as the second monitor to see if it does it .

I would switch the monitors or borrow a friends monitor for a second to see if its a setting/driver/GPU issue or monitor issue. I would put my money on a bad monitor because if you plug in a dual monitor all you do is plug it in and set the setting on how you want it displayed, nothing else.

that test will also help to see if both gpu work as they should .

I overclocked my GPU too far and i got lines like that. it could be a bad monitor if only one of them is like that. i would switch the displays and see if it still happens.
