Samsung Syncmaster 245B - Screen freeze -> screen flash 4 diff colours

Hello,

My monitor has experienced a major malfunction. The screen will randomly freeze, and then get uncontrollably brighter and brighters. Sometimes I can use ctrl+alt+del to snap it out, but now it starts rotating the same four screens over and over again. It will switch from dark, to white, to blue and to red-gren-blue-white stripes.

I searched Google for some answers, and best I could find was this video on Youtube which demonstrates the exact issue I'm having:

The poster was able to get Samsung to replace it, however, my warranty expired back in July. What could be wrong, and what is my best option? I would like to see if it is fixable since it is so hard to find any 16:10 monitors for a decent price anymore.

Thanks!
