Default Acer CRT screen display just got permanently narrower

This 7-year-old Acer CRT monitor that I've been using started flickering a
little and then something suddenly happened to cause the screen to
permenantly get narrower. It's not the computer, because I had two
computers connected via KVM switch and it happens with both regardless of
the screen res I select. It's not the KVM switch because I tried connecting
the monitor directly and it still happens.

Is a narrowing screen something that typically happens when an old CRT
monitor is dying? Even if I increase the geometry settings, the screen
display still is narrow. Also sometimes the power LED appears not to be as
brightly lit as usual.

Is it time to get rid of this monitor?

Thanks,

J.
