The top corners of my arcade monitor picture is kind of bent in the top corners. I can deal with it but i would like to fix it.

Does it stay in the same place or roll up/down the screen?

Degaussing is what you do when the colors are rainbow-y.  You've got - I think - pincushion.  Not sure what to do about that.  Ken?

UPDATE:

I emailed the person I bought it from and he agreed it looked like it was pincushion. There is no pincushion adjustment on the controller, so is there a manual way to correct this?

The pincushion coil could be bad. It is not adjustable. Does this monitor have a plug-in "pincushion correction board"?

Could the problem be with the resolution or refresh rates?  The screen has blurry corners.  I really would like to fix this because i doubt my guns will work with this because the picture does not fill up the entire screen. It will probably be miss calibrated.  Also what does a plugin pincushion correction thingy look like? Please help,

Oh, you have a Wells 7400 monitor. I don't usually see those monitors in machines I work on.

All the pincushion stuff is built into the main monitor board. Pincushion coil or pincushion correction circuitry may have problems.
