Have you tried the focus adjustment to see if that will clear it up? Usually you have to take the cover off and it will be a pot adjustable with a screwdriver. Be careful poking around inside a monitor with a screwdriver.

If your focus is changing by itself it's generally the deflection board going out. Sometimes adjusting the dashpot manually will fix it if it's just out of spec, but if it's cycling from better to worse, I doubt it in this case. Cheaper to get a new monitor than to replace that board.
 
How old is the monitor... some monitors have a 3 year warranty on them... 2 me it sound a definite fault (espesc if it only is clear as soon as U turn it on)
