Title: Sharp Image 25" Monitor Screen w/ Red Tint
Post by: CommodoreTex on January 09, 2009, 07:09:36 pm

Hi,  I have a Sharp Image 25" Monitor.

I moved it next to one of my surround sound speakers (about a 3 foot move) and now everything on the screen has a red tint. 

Any ideas why?

I'm not sure what model the monitor is, but if you have any idea where to find the number I'd happily look.  I can take a picture later to help, but you can't really see that much with it in the cabinet.

I'm not really sure if I just need to degauss it, or if I need a cap kit.  Any help would be appreciated.

yeah sounds like gaussing,maybe leave it for 6 hours or so and see if it degausses ok-otherwise move it away from any speakers

other problem could be a bad connection causing the red to go high,a photo would prove that though

The speaker was the problem.

I tried moving it before, just not long enough.

WOrks fine now thanks!
