You know that squiggly thing your monitor will do if you have a phone laying by it and it rings?

Mine keeps doing that but without the phone in the equation.

Am I about to need a new monitor?

In all seriousness, if there is no source of magnetic interference then your high voltage supply may be about to go. If you hear a loud pop and the screen goes black then it's time to get a new monitor. It could still have several months life if you can stand the wiggles, but it sounds like it's time to start looking for a replacement. I recommend a LCD screen.

You may just need a degaussing.

Agree, but if you have to buy a monitor - LCDs are getting cheap.  Try Tiger Direct.

This is probably the best advice I've read all day.
