One thing that seems to fix this problem is if we rotate the position the game is facing. While this may be a long shot answer, it's definitely worth a try. You could also have a problem with the shadow mask in your tube. Check out this Wikipedia article for more information: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_mask" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_mask</a>. Since your monitor is relatively new, you might trying contacting the manufacturer and see what their thoughts are on your problem as well.

The monitor looks great except on the top and bottom right hand side the color is off. I have tried a degaussing coil many times with no luck. I don't know what else to try. Does anyone have a suggestion? Its a bummer because I have spent a lot of time restoring this cabinet and to have the color messed up in those corners is a dissappointment after all the money I spent. I appreciate your help.

For some reason Amazon.com lists this degaussing coil as only working on 19" monitors or smaller but we have successfully used it for pretty much any size tube. Of course, the bigger the coil you get the more of an effect it will have on the monitor but overall any degaussing coil you get from a reputable source should work on all your monitors. We have also featured your question on episode 7 of our Q&A podcast. Please listen to it for more of our thoughts on your question. Thank you for your question and good luck with your future repairs.

Great info! I have four 19" monitors and one 25" monitor. Will the 19" coil still work on the 25" monitor? Or do I need to buy the bigger coil? And, will that the bigger coil be ok on my 19" monitors? Thanks in advance. John Hey guys. Great info! I have four 19″ monitors and one 25″ monitor. Will the 19″ coil still work on the 25″ monitor?
