It's the same hardware flaw, the background colour is corrupting the signal, and depending on what else is on the same line it seems to vary.

as it's out of spec, every monitor / capture card etc. ends up interpreting the signal in a slightly different way.

sometimes it will remove all the background colour from every element of the screen (so if the bg colour is white, you end up with a blank display)

sometimes it will do that, but only after about 32-64 lines

sometimes it will do that to a degree, but based on what else is on the line (so you end up with this 'gradient' effect where the background colour is more visible on lines where there isn't anything else)

sometimes it will render the background colour just fine...

it's an analog property based on a PCB design flaw being interpreted in different ways by different display / capture devices, as such, it rarely looks correct and it's difficult to know what the real intent was.
