Monitor Gives A Dark Picture After 3 Seconds

I have a problem with this monitor. After connecting to the pc and powered up the monitor, the monitor is showing the picture. after 3 seconds this view becomes very dark. It's no blank, I still vaguely see the information. Switching off the monitor and switching on afterwards, gives the bright picture again, but after 3 seconds it becomes very dark again. Tried out everything, other cables, other pc, other videocard, installing drivers again. Sometimes the monitor is even working normally for hours. I also tried out to switch off power saving modes aso. No result. Can anyone give me a clue if what's happening and if so, what I can do about it?

That seem to point to a failing/unstable hardware. Capacitators for example. It will need the attention of a technician.
