Re: G05-801 Tech

It would appear that could have been part of the issue. I tried another tube
and didn't notice the dot. However, after leaving the monitor on for a while
the image gets brighter and brighter to the point where the brightness and
contrast is turned all the way down but the image is still bright enough to
still have retrace lines.
