- Is there any vibration? Trinitron monitors are very intolerant of vibration.
- Try rapping one lightly on the side. The problem is the long thin wires that
- make up the shadow mask, they aren't as fixed as a normal mask and can
- vibrate out of the right positions. Note that the USAF doesn't put
- trinitrons on planes for this very reason.
