1265521 2012-03-23 05:02:00 I have had a few Samsung screens (6-9, can't remember exact number) do exactly this over recent months. They would take anything from 5 minutes to half an hour to "warm up" and display. The fault was definetely in the monitors as swapping out for a known good monitor there was picture straight away.

The model was Samsung 936BW from the top of my head. Rather than deal with the issue and repairs (all out of warranty by a while) they were repalced.
