Have you tried a different power supply with it? I've experienced issues with devices when their power supplies start going bad and then replacing it and the problem is solved.

I haven't - when I brought it home I found the one for my cousin's old laptop had the same voltage and plug, and worked perfectly. As the problem cropped up and then became more pronounced over time, I did check the voltage on it, and it's still on spec. Unplugging the power supply and plugging it back in is a sure fire short time fix for the issue.

Have you tried a different input to see if the problem follows?

Yes. I initially hooked it up with DVI, and it ran for some time before the issue cropped up. I then tried HDMI, and it went away for long enough for me to think it just had a bad DVI output, but then it came back.

It seems to be a heat issue in that it will take quite a while after it is first plugged in and turned on to begin happening, and once it does it will happen again within a few minutes of being reset by unplugging the DC converter and plugging it back in. Also, the screen goes dark then comes back on when it happens.

Have you tried feeling and if the components after it starts acting up? That could lead you to what part is failing and then you can replace it and have a fully functional display.
