That setup looks familiar. :P

You might need to grab a degaussing wand.

Well, despite not being able to get it to display RGB yet, I ended up taking it; Sadly scratching the hell out of the casing in moving it.
While I had it on the first floor, everything looked fine(over composite). Now that I've moved it up to the second floor, I've noticed an odd discoloration of reds in one part of the screen. I'm positive it wasn't there before, and the built in degauss isn't doing anything for it.

Is there anything I can do for this, or have I been left with a 200lb crippled monitor?

Where the hell is the Turbo Duo / Pc Engine ?!
lol still packed away after the move.
I'll probably get them out tonight or this weekend. Might plug in the SuperGrafx tonight.
Like I said, it just with reds at the moment, so I'm hoping that it's something different.
I'm curious how bending the housing affected anything. Is it due to over heating or something?
Also, is there anything special I need to do in order to get it to display VGA on RGB1, or is RGB2 only compatible with that. All of my PCs seem to be able to see it in some form, but it doesn't want to display anything.
As for having a tech look at it, I wouldn't know where to look for one, and even if I did there's no way I could afford it; I'm broke.
Something inside the TV is failing and it causes magnetic interference, which causes the purple spot. There is a user in this thread that has this monitor and has the same issue as well. I used to use a scaler made by a member here named fusiontr. It accepted scart and spit it out to the rgb1 input..which only accepts. 15k. The rgb 2 input accepts 31k, which is why it will display your PC. It's been awhile since I owned this model though, so I may be wrong. Its a decent set when you get it running, but as I've stated before... Get a few friends to be on the ready, cause I was stuck with this thing sitting in my hallway for 6 months till I could get a hand moving it out after it died.
So is it the tube itself, or part of the electronics? If the latter, I wouldn't have much of a problem leaving it in the attic until I could afford to fix it. The former however would be terrible.
Thanks for the info on the RGB inputs, it's what I figured but wasn't entirely sure on.
As Thamiel brought up, it could very well have been where I had it sitting, as it was surround with more electronics than I'd like to admit; Once I manage to get it up the last set of stairs, I'll give it another shot.

Dat BVM. If you ever sell that...I'm your guy.
That I can't answer for you... I don't know what caused it, but do know that it went down hill quickly once it started.
That looks stupidly crisp, and I love it.MORE BVM 900 LINE INSANITY!!
