I got a second-hand 22" HP p1230 Diamondtron CRT. It was manufactured March, 2005.
It still has 2 years of HP afterservice on it even.
Here is the thing, when I first got my new Creative Inspire 5.1 speakers I put the subwoofer up right beside the CRT (right side) for maybe 20 minutes until I noticed the distortion it caused. Then I put it under the desk, right side - about 2 feet away total I guess. It didn't SEEM to cause any distortion anymore.
But now, on a pure white screen, the right 1 inch of the screen seem to bleed a little red and be a bit faded when showing whites and black on whites. Not that much fade, mostly a bit blotchy with a slight, very slight, pinkish haze. I do not know if this has always been there. Maybe my subwoofer did it in the 20 min it was beside the CRT or maybe it has been doing it slowly when it was under the desk (only 2 feet away)? I have nowset it up so it is slighlt over the recommended 3 feet away.
I am new to computers and I have DLed the opwners manual. But I do not understand half the things on the On Screen Display. But I have been fiddling to get my whites pure down the right side of the screen.
I set the color temp to standard 6500k RGB. I hit the "reset to factory defaults button". I have degaussed a few times. I tried messing with upper left and lower left corner color purity buttons (no idea what they area). But still the problem persists. I could play with the clamp position pulse button - if I knew what it is.
Hell, I can't even get my geometry right there are so many buttons and it is so frustrating. But I can live with that cause I know it is just a matter or learning and patience. But with the pinkish discoloration issue I am not sure if I just don't know how to adjust yet or if something is wrong and I need to call in HP after-service (no idea how that works - have to get original owner to call it in I bet, luckily he has been cool and is helpful).
Any ideas what is up here or what a newbs next step should be?
