Why does my 1440p HDMI monitor only display correctly when running from the bootable USB?

I recently brought home a 1440p HDMI 60 Hz monitor. However, on Ubuntu and Fedora it has problems displaying correctly. Some images of the problem are here: https://imgur.com/a/GP2ce

Initially, I had Fedora installed, and thought it was a Fedora problem. Then, I wanted to try Ubuntu, figuring the VGA drivers might be different. I first loaded Ubuntu from the installation media, to try it out and voila! It worked! I decide to go ahead and install Ubuntu.

After I loaded Ubuntu from disk, my monitor started having the exact same problem it was having on Fedora.

The problem goes away when I set the monitor's resolution to 1080p.

Interestingly, the same problem appeared when the Ubuntu live USB version was loading. However, once it loaded, the problem went away!

What could the live version be doing that the installed version does not?

Edit: I tried running xrandr on both Live and Installed versions of Ubuntu and the resulting difference was interesting:

Edit 2: Also, I realized that this graphics artifact is causing some sort of striping that basically shows basically every other column of the display and double its width. When I am typing on that display, every other letter appears.
