Monitor Problems

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out my monitor problem. Whenever I turn off my computer (and my monitor has time to cool down) the image shape on my screen is reduced to about 60% when I turn my computer back on. Over time the screen corrects itself to its required shape, but this usually takes several minutes. I just updated my video card drivers, but I still have the problem. Any suggestions?

Sounds the tube in the monitor is going bad, you might need a new one. I could be totally wrong though. try connecting a different monitor, or connect that monitor to a different computer.

You can be sure that it's either the monitor or video card. But almost without doubt it's the monitor.
