An eMac with bad capicitors should be easier to find than moldy toast.
(i've got 2 in the school's workshop) and it should be easy to drop
your good logic board into a working monitor base, would probably take
no more than 45 minutes (i'll find out soon, we've got a few that were
butchered by some students, so they'll be getting torn apart soon...
real soon)

I agree with Jason and Christian; it's probably the monitor hardware. I doubt
it's a software/motherboard issue; I've had a couple of old Apple displays
exhibit similar symptoms. Like Christian said, monitors just age. If it
pops back to normal with a slight tap on the side or top of the screen,
(well, the computer in this case) that's definitely a monitor problem.
One solution would be: get an eMac with a bad motherboard and exchange
components; I would just take the good motherboard/RAM/HD and put them in one
with a bad motherboard - shouldn't be hard to find, since those ones were
known for bad motherboards. That would probably be simpler (and safer) then
replacing the flyback transformer, analog board capacitors, and other
components. You could post an add on the LEM swap list.

I have seen issues like this due to a failing flyback transformer. If you
replaced the analog video board on this machine, it likely will correct the
issue.
