copper20 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 On my CRT TV if I play something like Mega Man or Pokemon Yellow on my Pokemon Stadium N64 cartridge, there are some discolored patches that appear a little later. Is the screen needing to be degaussed or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Maybe. Depends on what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copper20 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 They look like colored spots. Although if I turn the TV off and turn it back on most of the time they go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Is it a flat tube widescreen TV by chance? I had this exact same issue with a Samsung wide, flatscreen CRT. It was an HDTV and it looked great most of the time. However, I noticed that I had to have it face a certain way in the house or else these noticeable purple and green spots would appear in the upper corners of the tube. I would degauss it and they would eventually come back. I read up on the issue and it was apparently pretty common on those particular Samsung TVs. Some people claimed to correct it by replacing or modifying the power supply to be beefier. I never bothered with it and eventually got rid of it a few years later.
