Hey guys,

I have an older res (non-jamma) monitor in my Super Mario Bros machine that looks great when it's been on for a minute. However, that's the catch... when I have this game off for weeks, and come back to it and turn it on, it looks like hell for about 30 seconds. After it "warms up" it's fine. What is this? It's dark and slightly bouncy for a few seconds. Then the colors and contrast just sort of come into place. Looks great, and stays that way after a minute or so. I bought this a few years ago, totally rejuvenated from ebay and served me well. It's been doing it for about a year, actually... so it's not a huge issue, but I figured I'd ask what this is? Sound familiar to anyone?
 
Since I'm not super familiar with this type of monitor, where would that be located? Also, that's the cap's name for when I order it from an electronics store? Thanks a lot!
