Important:
Do not use the Top/Bottom Beam Landing
control to adjust color in the corners of the screen. The
Top/Bottom Beam Landing control affects the entire
horizontal span of the top and bottom of the display
screen.
- Any time you adjust the Top/Bottom Beam Landing, check
the screen rotation. Because the position of the raster
can be affected by the top/bottom beam landing
adjustment, go back to the Geometry screen and click
Rotate to correct the screen’s rotation.
- Recheck the screen for color blotches. If color blotches
appear in the corner(s), then make the Corner Beam
Landing adjustment.
3 Degauss exterior of display with a hand-held degaussing coil.
(You can purchase a degaussing coil for about $25 at most
larger electronic parts stores.)
4 Shut down computer and monitor, and move them to an area
where there are no external speakers or large metal objects
such as benches, cabinets, etc. that could cause a stray
magnetic field. (Refer to “First Checklist” at the beginning
of this chapter.)
5 If you don’t see improvement, repeat step 3. If you don’t
have a hand-held degaussing coil, wait 20 minutes before
turning on computer and monitor, and use an internal
degaussing coil.
