Well, it sounds like it's time for a new monitor.

Do you have another monitor you can try to make sure it's a monitor problem and not some other problem?

Are they attached to seperate ports on the video card? Try switching them to see if you have a bad DVI/VGA port or just a bad monitor.

Yup, definitely a bad monitor. Still under any warranty?
