A couple of days ago it starts up with a flurry, relatively dark screen with
streaks. After about 10 minutes hooked by HDMI to a monitor for tv it
becomes more distinct and brighter though not so much as before, streaks are
gone. (I think it may be getting darker. The image on the tv is as bright
and distinct as ever.)
As someone with an hardware background, look first at connectors. Have
you tried simply plugging and unplugging cables and making sure that they
are secure and not corroded? The changes you describe might arise from
thermal expansion in imperfect connectors.
You responded to me personally, I'm sending my response to the list.
I've switched the cable a couple of times. I just switched out the cable and
used a different one.
Streaky blurry darker screen.
I should add or clarify that it seems to improve considerably after a
couple of minutes.
Also after I begin to run the t.v. software (Hulu) but it seems rather
linked to the time than any particular software.
Thanks for getting back to me!

Of course, it may well be something slightly more complicated in that
hardware, but always start with the connectors before looking further.
Perhaps you have already done this...
