I would say it is either the monitor or the video card. The only real way to find out is to swap parts. The easiest to swap is the monitor. Try it on another system. If it appears to be good then try uninstalling and reinstalling the graphics drivers. This could also be caused by heat. Dirt, dust, non functioning fans, etc. All can cause excessive heat buildup. Good idea to do housekeeping inside the case periodically. Try canned air to blow out the dust.
