Horizontal lines on XF250Q

For starters this is a new-ish monitor (less than 30 days old) so I find it weird that I'm already having problems. So a few days ago i cleaned the monitor with an eyeglass cleaner spray and cloth. About a day or two after that I noticed thin horizontal lines throughout the monitor. however most predominant in the top right corner. The picture is also less clear and smooth, it appears more pixelated. I've gone through most of the possible software issues and found no fix to it. I plugged in my old Samsung monitor and I wasn't having any issues with it. Is there something i could have missed with my software or do I need to have it replaced?

Can you post a picture showing the problem?

Here is a picture of the lines, it was taken on my phone so the quality isn't the best and it might be hard to see them.

Try a power reset on the monitor, unplug everything including power then press and hold the power button for 30 seconds or so. Wait for 15-30 minutes to make sure everything has bled off, then hook everything up and boot back to it. If that doesn't clear it up do you have another system you can connect it to to verify it's not the GPU or cable?

It might be a cable issue.. Remove all the cables from monitor. Press and hold the power button of monitor for 1 min. Connect all the cables back. Try to turn on the monitor. Connect the monitor to computer and check. If the cable is non removable please don't try to remove it.

Please remove the cable between monitor and computer. Try to connect it back and check. If possible try to use an alternative cable and check.

If the problem persists try to use an alternative power cable and display cable and check. Try to bypass the surge protector and connect the monitor directly to power outlet. Try to connect monitor on a different power outlet or surge protector and check.

On the monitor – use the control buttons. There will be an option to reset monitor settings to default. Try to reset the monitor and check.
