Monitor starts bluish
I have an Apple 20 Inch monitor, 6 years old.
When I start in the morning all the sceen is looking light bluish. But after 2 hours it changes colors to normal. What is the reason? Where to look? Thanks Volker Greulich |

This can be caused by some components in the bias and drive circuits to the
CRT that have become thermo sensitive. As they warm up over time, they come back to be close enough to spec. I have also seen a CRT cause this before it starts to fail. An experienced tech, should be able to determine the problem for you, and give you an estimate. You may find that since the LCD screens are becoming so reasonable in cost, this should be the reason to do an upgrade. -- JANA _____ "Volker Greulich" wrote in message ...

These are a great (Sony) monitor! Likely to be just
bad solder connections on the CRT board! Well worth fixing, especially, if it has a good overall picture. Rono. |

Ah, if it's Sony, then don't pay attention to it. It's a very common
problem. I've had a Sony G500 - it used to be greenish till warmed up, now I have Sony G520 (Dell P1130 to be exact) - it starts bluish but recovers quicker. I've seen more G500's and all they had the same problem, less or more severe. You may look he http://www.short-media.com/forum/sho...t=19549&page=5 |
