Asus VS278Q-P image issues

[tibimakai]

I have picked up this monitor, which has this weird issue on the screen.
I haven't opened it up yet, because I would like to get some opinions on this before I make my decision, on what to do with it.
I have picked it up from Ebay. The seller it was claiming that it doesn't turn on, and to my surprise, it works great, but has this issue.
Now if it's fixable, then I go ahead, but if you guys will tell me that is a panel issue, or something that is not fixable, then I will let the seller.
It happens on all inputs, 2x HDMI and VGA. If there is no video signal(blue screen), then I can't see those artifacts, so I'm thinking that it could be a cable not plugged in properly, or some main board issue.
Here are some pictures:

No ideas what this could be, or what can I try to narrow down the problem?

It's probably a scaler chip problem, if you don't have another monitor with same panel interface the only method to know is to get another video board.
Anyway if you find Tarzan ask it to him...

I'm trying it on my laptop, but I will try it on my other PC too, to see if it works the same there too.
Right now, I have managed to adjust the Intel HD 4000 settings and the monitor setting and the artifacts are all gone.

probably means he changed the input resolution.
hopefully to the one native to the panel.

I have found a setting in the monitor, which fixed the problem. I have never heard of this setting before, Trace free. I have reduced it to minimum, and those artifacts are all gone.
Not bad, for $57. 1ms, 27" LED, 2x HDMI+ VGA+Display port, speakers monitor.
Thank you for your help.
