I tried searching for something similar but couldn't come up with anything but a possible bad flyback.

The bottom monitor on my dual does funny things with the colors. At first I thought it might be the cart but it's happening on all the games.

It looks like the colors are cycling through the spectrum. If I'm playing punchout for example, referee mario's hat will go from red to blue to green etc... The game is still playable, just wrong colors everywhere. It sometimes takes a break but then does it again and there are times the whole screen will become darker and everything will be red (not blank screen red, you can still make out all the objects).

What could be the problem?

Thanks
 
I'm not sure what the problem is, but have you degaussed the monitor lately??? Have you moved the machine recently???
 
Yes it was moved about 2 months ago when I bought it. But seems to getting worse over the last few weeks, seemed fine when I first got it. Very minor brightness changes at the beginning.

I did try degaussing by pressing the button, but nothing changed. Haven't tried any other method yet. I could try to old drill trick tonight.
