<<Yeah, you can generally fix that, though sometimes color alignment problems involve breaking the "purity seals" on your tube, and tweaking those weird little hunks of metal around -- very difficult to do properly.
If you're going to adjust your monitor, you will need some adjustment tools -- basically long _plastic_ screwdrivers. (The plastic part is important, because you don't want to kill yourself, or short out your monitor.)>>
I was more or less considering taking it in to a shop and letting them fix it. I've no idea how to work on monitors for this type of thing. I'm even more inclined to buy a new bigger monitor anyway (since it's something I plan to do in the next year anyway). I'm looking at 17" 1600x1200 res monitors to fall below $700.
