The monitor works at very high voltage and is therefore well insulated. It
can therefore build up a charge which disrupts the steadiness of the
picture. I do not know whether this is still a problem in modern monitors
but in older monitors there was a button provided, usually in a well hidden
and hard to find position, which discharged this charge and thereby reset
the monitor. This "degaussing" needed to be done about every six months. It
is also worthwhile to treat the screen of the monitor with an anti-charging
solution or cloth.
