It looks like vertical flip-over.
It is just the term that most technicians use.
This is caused by bad capacitor(s) in vertical stage. And sometimes bad connections.
As you said, at first problem woud be there for just a couple of minutes, and now this time is getting longer. It will be just getting worse.
If you wanna look into it yourself, look for capacitors (electrolytic) in vertical stage that has its jacked shrunk (due to heat).
I assyme you know basic safety, (unplug the TV and so on).
This fault, if left unatended, usually does not cause other component to go bad. So no rush to fix it.
