My mono monitor has done this off and on for several years.  It only lasts
about a week and then things are back to normal.  From the way things look
the problem may not be with the montior but rather with the video chip.  Try
resocketing it and pressing on the board around it while power is off
(obviously).
   Many people have written about the problem but I have never responded
because it does no harm and will go away after a while.  It has nothing to do
with the accessible adjustments of the monitor.
