A good thought, but I would have thought that if that were the case the problem would be apparent as soon as playback started.

That monitor almost certainly has RGB-in capability, if dom is already using a fully wired SCART lead between the DVD player and monitor then it may be useful to try RGB-in instead of composite-in.

On my similar Philips monitor there is a physical switch on the front panel to select between RGB / CVBS input mode. You would need to enable RGB-out in the DVD player's menus as well (the default will be for composite out).
