New monitor has lines/noise on waking from standby...

Got my Yamakasi Catleap 2703 monitor in last week for about $350. Awesome picture. No obvious pixel issues. Fired up just fine. I've not attempted to overclock / alter it in any fashion. Gaming is pleasant. The stand rather sucks though, but it suffices.

When I'm not at my computer, I turn my monitors off (well, "standby" these days). Twice in less than a week, when I've put the monitor on standby for over a few hours and come back to turn it on, the screen is nothing but visual noise / lines / static until I turn it off then back on again.

I assume this is an indication of a failing monitor? I've already contacted the vendor and am waiting to hear back.

Any thoughts? Does this indicate a failing part? Should I not worry?

The screen is hooked to a Core i5 3570k thoroughly burned-in / test to 4.4GHz OC with dual Geforce 670 GTX in SLI mode at stock speeds. I also have an old Dell 24" hooked up and running in portrait mode. Both screens are hooked up via DVI cable.

My work monitor does that. Are you hooked up to a KVM? Mine is. Without it I never get that.. You may try a different connection cable if you have the option.. ie dvi instead of hdmi or vga. I don't think the monitor is failing, most likely a weak video signal from the pc.

As "dbailey" said, try a couple different cables if you can as well as a different port on your graphics card. If your motherboard supports the integrated graphics the i5-3570k has then try and see if it does it hooked up to that.
