PVM-14M4E Start Up Geometry Issue

[tomsawyer]

14M4E is doing this weird bottom/top curving ritual and an added purple+green screen thing from a cold start up - things resolve after about 80 seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqNRImpA_nQ

Any idea what's going on here? As an add-on the whites have a significant pink hue to it.

I wouldn’t be able to say how to remedy that in a technical level but one thing I think people often forget in the age of modern TVs is that a crt generally works best and gives the best image when it has had time to warm up and settle in. This looks like a case of that for sure.

Thanks for the reply. The thing is that it shouldn't be doing that at all - cold start or not. This is the only monitor i've owned that acts this way re 80 second geometry ritual before settling in.

I know it's probably not much help, but typically issues that resolve after warming up are down to capacitors. Would be my first port of call.

@drojman Thank you very much! I will be looking at how i should be going with recapping.
