Something is surely broken.  I would take you machine back to the dealer
and seek warranty repairs and/or replacment.  One users reported a cold
solder joint on the video connector, perhaps this or something similar
is the a case here.

You might want to take your monitor and check it on another A2000, just
to make sure it isn't some peculiarity in your cable, although I can't
imagine what would be wrong, since the video pinout is the same...
