That's the one. He actually had two of them (I picked them up for a 
total of  ~USD40), and one alledegedly has a problem: when it gets 
warm (15 minutes the guy said), it gives a bang like a high voltage 
arc, then the display goes black briefly and comes up again. Any 
idea which part is failing here and can I fix it myself (with only 
moderate soldering and electronics skills)?

I have not yet seen it happen (not even after 2 hours use) which 
would give me two wonderful monitors (after exterior cleaning) for a 
very reasonable price.

Cheers,

Maarten
