Can you test the monitor with another computer?
"Home screen" do you mean the "Windows Desktop" screen?
I suspect the monitor has failed since the video card work with your TV.

Yes I mean the Windows Desktop screen. The screen image flashes on the screen every time I turn the monitor on and back off.

I connected the monitor to my laptop and the laptop immediately identified a secondary display connected but it still does the same thing, I can turn the monitor off and the back on and the Windows Desktop screen is visible very briefly ( a flicler) then the screen goes black again!

So this identifies the monitor as the failed component. Unless repair is covered by your warranty replacement is possibly the cheapest option.
