Do you think it could be the Monster Cable component wiring harness?

That's why I asked.

MonsterCable connections are usually very tight. They require a bit more elbow grease ro get on and taking them off requires more than just a casual tug. If they've been on and off of those component connections a few times, it's probably the case that the actual pins that connect to the video board are now loose (dislodged due to the tug-of-war the cables induce). When the cables are first put on, the pins get pushed back in their respective holes. After a short time, the weight of the cables pulls them from their position on the video board.

You may want to open up the back of the display to see what goes on when the cables are pushed on and then watch what happens after that.

Of course, I could be wrong and the ICs on the video board are going out and stop working after the display warms up. Hope you can fix it or get the issue corrected, because it sounds like something that would seriously annoy me to the point of pulling a Chev Chelios with my display (if you saw Crank, you'll know exactly what I mean).
