    On a related note, does anyone know what may be causing a problem on one of my Sony Trinitrons?

    It looks fantastic except that the picture sort of droops down on the upper left corner. The is more noticeable with games that have horizontal lines in the background. Not sure if it is something that can be adjusted or if it is unrepairable.

    Could be a problem with magnetic fields (maybe there's a source of disturbance near that corner) or the magnets need to be properly degaussed (although I have no idea how this can be done with a TV, PC monitors always did that when they were turned on).

    Might have a speaker near that corner. Could also be a damaged aperture grille.

    I have the exact same problem (even the same location) with my 32" Sony Trinitron Wega. It's not too noticeable, but my eye catches it from time to time. I don't have any speakers or magnets near the set. The TV was bought brand new by my mom, who took excellent care of the set. The monster was only moved once (from her house to my house). Total mystery.
