I picked up a used Micron AP150T at our town's recycling center. It cost
me nothing, so there is no loss if I can't figure out what's wrong.

When I hook it up to a computer, all works just fine. Then the picture
starts tearing horizontally after a few moments of on time. When I hit
the Function key, the function block pops up and looks perfectly fine
while the picture behind it is tearing.

So I assume that the sync signal from the computer is somehow being lost.
It does the same with two different computers, so the computer output is
not the problem; the computer outputs are fine with other monitors.

Any ideas? Is there a know problem with this unit syncing to the VGA
signal?

Bad electrolytic capacitors are fairly common and can cause any number of
strange symptoms. That's where I'd look first, the surface mount sort used
in flat panels tend to be especially troublesome.
