Interesting. My Nanao 17" monitor did that this past weekend
when I turned it on after it had been off briefly following a
two-hour session. I'm guessing that the CRT filament blew. It
was five years old...but there was no clue that anything was
about to happen; the picture had been like new up until the
moment it busted. I paid $900 for it in 1995; it was
considered one of the best available.
