So I wanted to play in tate mode, but when flipped like that my TV does not display the blues correctly so everything on screen has a pink hue to it. It's more pronounced in the corners of the screen.

I was wondering if anyone knows the cause and fix to this kind of problem.

Thanks in advance.

A good way to get the colors right is to unplug your TV and let it sit 15-20mins before tating. Give it a shot.

Thanks a lot! Leaving it sitting for a while worked charmingly. Tate really is the new Jesus.

Yeah, Most TV's automatically Deguauss upon powering after the coil cools.

Actually there's a thermistor in there that does it. The current flows through it and as it heats up the resistance increases. Once the thermistor cools the resistance drops and the coil will once again receive enough power to degauss the CRT.

Yeah, that's what I meant...
