    Make sure the cable from the monitor to the vid card is tight, try another cable if possible.

    Check the resolution and refresh rate under normal conditions, then compare with what's being used when you play the games.

    If they are different I suspect the monitor can't quite handle the settings used when game playing.

    It seems unlikely that just playing a game would cause this effect if the problem was a faulty cable, unless there's a poor junction that can't handle the data rate.
    .
    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    That's an interesting idea that never would have occurred to old, non-game-playing moi.
    Probably a lot closer than my stock "check the cable" response.
