Is there any hope for a CRT monitor when it starts to smear? I'm using a 5 year old NEC MultiSync FE700 CRT flat screen, and have noticed that there is a smear of gray to the right of any black characters, such as a line of text. Degaussing did not help (nor did I expect it to but tried it anyway). Or is 5 years about what I should expect? Thanks for the anticipated sage advice. 73 de Paul
