It sounds like a dry solder joint on the monitor circuit board. As it heats 
up, the component expands and breaks the connection, dropping the voltage and 
fading out the screen. If it is under warranty send it back / call out the 
engineer. If it isn't, ask a local reputable TV repairer. It is usually a 
fairly simple job.
