    trinitron getting blurry

    my trinitron is getting blurry randomly when in use, how do i fix it?

    it had started a few weeks ago and it would get blurry about once a week but then recently it was happening multiple times a day and now today its done it 4 times in about an hour. is this a sign that its dieing or do i need a new part

    and i know that its the monitor and not the input since the trinitron lines get blurred

    Shoot. Some CRTs get a little blurry as they age, and that can be corrected (there are focusing adjustments inside) but if it blurs on you then corrects itself, then blurs again, that points to something worse than just needing adjustment

    Honestly though, I don't miss my old CRT too much. Yeah, there is a little input lag on my LCD, but they space and weight savings are worth it! That, and the LCD is easier on the eyes.

    The only thing I miss about my old FW900 is that people tended to drool over it, and gave you space when carting things in from the car to the LAN - and from what I've heard it's considered one of the better CRTs ever made. If refresh rate really bothers you that much, there's always the Samsung 2233RZ.

    that samsung is to low of a resolution and those arnt actually 120hrz they can alternate 60hrz for 3d mode


    and for space i have a corner desk purchased specifically to be used with a giant crt, and what its doing is sometimes it will blur then i have to turn it off then restart and its good, then it will ether look perfect like its new or it will look like an lcd then blur again and the chain repeats until it has this amazeing picture then it wont do it again for a few days
