Recently, I've noticed that the right side of the screen of my Amiga 1080 monitor (coming up on 2 years old) is yellower than the left side. I wrote some short programs to diagnose the problem, and I seem to have iso- lated it. When the Amiga displays a screen that is black (000) on the left side and white (FFF) on the right side with black borders, the white part of the screen becomes shaded with a burnt-looking brown. The problem is especially noticable when the brightness and contrast controls are turned up. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is my CRT bad, is the monitor circuitry dying, or what? -Jonathan _____________________________________________________________________________ -- Jonathan C.

Try de-gausing / de-magnatizing your crt. Better yet when your amiga is first
booting up and your screen is white, check for uniformity! If not uniform
try the de-gaussing routine. If that doesn't work its possible to extend the
life of your tube a little while by finding an HONEST tv shop that has a crt
re-vitilizer. What it basically does is shock the coating off the guns in the
crt that appear with age. Some times it works other times no. .... Just a few
ideas.
