I have a Dell S2340Mc which I believe came from a Tower PC bundle from CostCo.

Brick or Online Store: CostCo (forget if online or in-store)
Purchase date: Unknown
Monitor model: Dell S2340Mc REV A00 Manufactured Sept 2012
Monitor 20 digit alpha-numeric serial number: CN-0293M3-64180-2AU-0GET
Email address: 
Name: Purchased by:
Shipping address: 
Phone number: Available at request.
Operating system: Windows 8.1 x64
Video card: AMD Radeon r9 280x series
Video card ports tested: Yes. Monitor Self-test: 
Issue: Color at sides of screen and "Ripples" on right side of screen.

 This is the monitor self test. The monitor is isolated from the PC and shows a green tinge on the left side, and magenta tinge on the right. The right side also shows horizontal "Ripples" moving downwards that the camera could not capture, and is extremely susceptible to screen burn ins. The middle is neutral gray.

This problem appears randomly. It comes and goes randomly, persisting from anywhere from a week to months. If left unplugged for a week or so, the problem seems to go away, but then comes back after a week of being plugged in. An adjacent monitor has been problem free.

Upon closer inspection, every second row of pixels is miscolored, with the ones in between the neutral gray. 

on the right side some of the burn in from an address bar is visible. The rate at which images get burned-in is very fast.

Previously only the right side showed weird color. The left side was completely normal until today. This problem has been occuring since February.
