Windows 10: Monitor display issues

Some months ago, I bought a new monitor (1080p, 144Hz), which I've been using as my primary, while using my old one (1080p, 60Hz) as secondary. However, there have been 3 issues I've found with my new monitor and I'm not sure what's causing it or what to do with it.

First issue is it drops framerate heavily when certain programs are active. The one that comes to mind is NordVPN. It's not a huge issue, since it's in the background most of the time, but I notice it drops FPS by a lot, often when the program window is active. This only happens on my new monitor.

Second issue is it causing heavy cursor stuttering with some (full screen?) applications. It doesn't happen frequently, but I've seen it happen when I shifted BlueStacks (Android Emulator) between my 2 monitors, and it only affects when active on my new monitor. It's causing the cursor to stutter a lot, making it practically unusable, but only while that application is active on the monitor. When shifting it back to the other monitor, it's back to normal.

Third issue is more subtle, and I've been noticing it with Photoshop open. It's like there's some vertical waves going over the screen for some seconds whenever I click or move anything on the screen. Again, only seen it happen on my new monitor.

Is there any potential fix to any of this, or should I be returning this monitor and look for a different one to buy?
