OK, the monitor is about 18 months old. I've not got a clue about any
radio transmitter installations or anything like that happening in our
area, no problems with electricity, doesn't happen with the TV, and
I've scanned for worms etc and nothing. It seems to start after the
monitor has been on for a while, possibly overheating?

If the problem comes up after the unit has been on for a while, a hardware
failure is the most likely answer. If there is a break or crack in a
hardwired piece of electronics it can fail as heat causes the break or crack
to expand and lose contact. These kind of problems are rare, but they do
happen. If the unit is still under warranty, return it for repair. If not
under warranty, consider a new monitor.
