Display Problems In CRT TV/Monitor

By on May 9, 2010

monitor problem

I suggest that you print out this images of CRT TV/Monitor display problems for reference. To some beginners, they do not know how a pincushion or a keystone distortion problem look like. It is important to know these images so that you will know which section to check when you test the CRT TV/Monitor with a test colour pattern program or generator.

      Hi Francis,

      Without hands on assessment to perform the voltage/signal test, I would not really know what would be the actual cause.

    Hi sir, my LG 15 inch crt monitor screen size horizontally has shrinken.
    From the both side almost 1.5 inch. From setting I put it 100. Virtual size is ok, no problem. A local mechanic said it might be flyback transformer, but original one is not available. Could it be other problem? Thanks

      Hi Md Nazmul,

      If you get a non original flyback it can cause such problem. If the B+ voltage is good, safety capacitor value is within range and modulation diode/pincushion transistor is good then it can be the flyback.

        My flyback is original. Crt never repaired since 2005. How much should be the B+ voltage?

          Hi MD Nazmul,

          Normal B+ voltage should be 110 vdc. Some designs may be higher.

      Hi Praveen,

      It could be due to weak pc tube or the heater voltage is low due to bad e-cap.

      HI David,

      Many factors such as bad power supply, bad flyback, bad Microprocessor or eeprom IC data, and etc.

    Weird one, here... 1992 Sony Trinitron KV27EXR 20. On TV mode, static fills the screen... Hook a console up to it (via RF, S-Video or Composit RCA) there's slight keystoning. I cleaned about 26 years of dust out of it, but if course that didn't help. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

      Hi Sajjad,

      It could be missing heater voltage, too low the G2 voltage, G1 voltage could be improper, no high voltage, bad Video pre-amp IC and etc.

      Hi Teddy,

      The screen problem might be due to lack of B+ voltage, dry joint or bad components in the horizontal linearity circuit. The sound could mean the flyback have problem.

      Hi Abdu,

      I'm fine thanks. In your case you need to check if there is any hairline cracks. Power blinking can be due to many reasons. I suggest thhat you make sure the power supply produce good and stable output first before check on other parts. No picture can be due to the flyback not energized or even broken picture tube.
