Typically... this has to do with
Driving the LCD screen with to high a frequency...
But since its from turn on... I'd be thinking its a hardware issue with either the screen itself or the "cable" between the video card and screen.
And Yes I know you say "The Cable between?", yes the cable between. Its now typically a ribbon-esq style of cables and you might be seeing degradation or perhaps the connector to the video card isn't right some how.
In any case, if you can boot up another OS and see what happens (you know Windows is required for troubleshooting don't you).
Good luck. As to where to look into this... lookup the hardware itself and add on your problems without any OS specific terms.
And if you could take that awesome camera of your and take a shot... I think you'd be able to get more feedback.
