My wife's 17 inch monitor works fine if its used daily. If its been off
for a week or so, it takes about 1/2 hour to gradually come from a black
screen to full brightness.

I assume this a a sign of a bad capacitor. Since the problem resolves
fairly quickly I expect I will have a problem finding the real culprit
without changing out a whole lot unnecessarily..

Should I suspect something in the power supply or one of the caps in the
CRT filiment circuit?

Thanks for any tips.
