It has to do with the limitations of technology at the time. When the same image was being displayed for extended periods the phosphor coating that allows the monitor to hold brightness while the electron beam isn't hitting a a given spot on the screen starts to hold the image even when it's not being drawn anymore (such as when the monitor is off).
