My seven year old 19 inch conventional monitor get a tiny
little bit blurry for a fraction of a second every few
seconds. Is this most likely the monitor or the video card?

Does the OSD (onscreen display) misbehave too?

IMO it sounds like the monitor's high voltage may be arcing, probably
from the anode cap on top of the CRT, or possibly from the CRT neck
PCB, or maybe from the flyback transformer. Try peering inside the
cover in a darkened room and listen for a crackling sound.
