Much agreed.  There's nothing wrong with the tube and yokes.  I'd guess it was stored in varying temperatures.

Check the "deflection yoke" its the copper collar around the neck of the tube, probable it moved from its place.

Open the monitor and start moving it, an see if start to look better.

Also it can be hit so hard in the move, that the shadow mask could have get out of place if that the case, you are out of luck you have to replace the whole tube.

Also, the fine white horizontal lines really suggest there is something on a component level that has went eskew.


I had thought these lines were caused by something driving the phasers so far out of range that they are bouncing off the side of the tube and back into viewing area.  If I vertically adjust the picture a bit out of range on my 3D, it'll come back in reflected very quickly, giving a similiar looking effect of horizontal lines superimposed on the rest of the screen.  

I don't really have an explanation for the two wide vertical lines, though, unless it's the same effect, only with phasers bouncing off the side, instead of the top/bottom.

Oh, and unforunately, the S doesn't mean speakers are included in this case.


Well then...  I'm not sure what it DOES mean.  haha!

I'm clueless as to what exactly has gone wrong, but I know it is not a simple case of magnetic field exposure. The distortions are too symetrical for that. Also, the fine white horizontal lines really suggest there is something on a component level that has went eskew.

Oh, and unforunately, the S doesn't mean speakers are included in this case.   :-D

I had the monitor stored away for about a year (during that year, it was also inolved in a move, but I don't recall if it went with the rest of the furniture or not. heh) It is possible that "something occurred" during the move.


Yeah, I might guess that it got dropped, and the neck on the back of the tube got shifted.  Not sure if that is going to be easily fixable...

of course, it COULD have just gotten magnetized a bit, or something.  Have you tried degaussing it?

This is actually an NEC 3DS. Anyone know what the difference between a 3D and a 3DS is? I recall that being asked plenty of times in past and I never did find out.


No... That I don't know, either... I had always guessed that the 3DS had sound.  (My 3D has no speakers whatsoever.)

Actually, I did not witness the transformation from the good picture it used to have to what you see in the photo now. I had the monitor stored away for about a year (during that year, it was also inolved in a move, but I don't recall if it went with the rest of the furniture or not. heh) It is possible that "something occurred" during the move. Screenmode changes have no impact on the picture. It almost appears to me to be an over-driven display, as if the brightness is up too high. The analog controls knobs are where they should be, though.

Interesting to note: This is actually an NEC 3DS. Anyone know what the difference between a 3D and a 3DS is? I recall that being asked plenty of times in past and I never did find out.

Heh... The reference image of a NEC 3d I posted has that same flash specular!   :lol:

Anyhow, it looks like a pretty serious alignment error on your model.  What happens if you change screen modes?  (send it a different refresh rate...)?  

Did it work fine, and then just start doing this, or what happened?
