Minor picture distortion on my cab's monitor.

On the top left-hand corner of my cab's screen the picture is a little blurry, for reference it's right where a character's name and life bar is. It makes it seem like the picture is doubled, like you were drunk.

And it isn't the game since it does it for everyone I have, anyone know how to fix this?

I tried the V-Hold and other picture knobs, but none of them did anything.

It's not that big of a deal, but it's enough to drive me crazy if I don't fix it.

(I'm going to be AFK for about a day, but toss some ideas my way if you please, and thanks in advance)

Could be the caps, if the caps are going the monitor will look like it is starting to double over and normally it is at the top of the screen... could also be a flyback going, but I doubt it. Or... and this would be the easiest to fix. You just got a nice bit of charge built up there, try degausing the monitor and see if it goes away (a strong magnet can be used to work out the stubborn area... or you can get a degause tool from a local electronics shop).

If it gets any worse I'll try to degause it, hopefully that's the problem.

Thanks.
