Help and advice wanted (monitor repair)

A common cause of faults which go away as the equipment warms up is dried out electrolytics that as a result have high ESR.

You can buy ESR meters from a variety of suppliers. The last eizo I worked on had an awful lot of electrolytics - so checking them all can be tedious work, use your senses such as look for bulged tops, sniff out any smells of leaking electrolyte and (carefully!) feel for any electrolytics getting hot - beware - any with floating, negative or AC rails will have live cans, so only touch the plastic sleeve!

Wavy edges of the picture area is typically caused by mains hum on the power supply rails. As the previous poster suggested, it's probably dried up electrolytic caps, most likely the main smoothing reservoir electrolytic in the power supply section. Read the safety advice here

That's a tough one...Perhaps the picture has some kind of ripple effect until it warms up? If you can perhaps give a better mental image of this.....
