i doubt it's the monitor, the behavior you've described seems to be associated with specific software, a monitor problem would be more general. likely your video card, it's vram, or the connections have gone bad. try unplugging the vram and or video card and cleaning the contacts with a clean pencil eraser and putting it back (after blowing the dust off). next likely culprit would be the system software or another program. my bet however would be software first, then vram or video card.
