I've never seen
any monitor do anything like that when turned off and on while it still has a video signal. Every monitor I've ever used just displays what it's supposed to immediately as soon it's turned on.
Well then, you've probably got exactly what he's looking for! What brand/model are you using? I've never seen any monitor display anything immediately after being turned on - all the ones I have used seem to take at least 2-3 seconds before they display a picture.
Personally, the Dell monitor I am currently using (a current model 23") stays black for 3 seconds after being turned on, then has the "source" information (DVI, etc) displayed over top of the actual video content for the next 3 seconds, which is moderately obnoxious.
