 Try turning down the brightness or contrast on the monitor chassis. Could be blooming? |

 well i cleaned the brightness and contrast pots and re adjusted them.  still no luck.  i wonder if it is the Y amplification.  has anyone ever adjusted this on this type of monitor.  i tried to adjust but they were siliconed (lack of a better word) in place.
 thanks

 John with your monitor success, have you have adjusted the x or y amplication pots.  is there a reason why there are 2 pots for each?

 i think the tech replaced the entire board, but i will email him to see if it was a specific part that went bad or he just swapped it out. |
