Default Repair or adjustment of a Philips Brilliance 17A

Folk,

A photo of a small portion of the screen of a Philips Brilliance 17A
CRT computer monitor is here.

Notice the green ghost to the right of any dark area. Also, the
generally poor focus.
I've tried each of the two focus adjustments and found little
improvement.

Can anyone explain the greenness?

Is adjustment or repair of this old monitor advisable? Scrap it?

Thanks, ... Peter E.

This may be a bad video cable. It could be reflections on the cable
bouncing back and creating the ghost. It could also be a failed
termination resistor in the monitor, or a bad contact or broken solder
joint at the video connector.
