This has happend in two locations that I have tried to move my machine. First when I had it near the wall the picture on the monitor would discolor where the reds would look light orange. When I would remove the machine away from the wall it would be fine. Now I move it to a better location that it would look much better and the same thing. Now I have it sideways and about 8-10 inches away from the wall it is fine. Does anyone have any idea what in the wall could cause the interferece? There is a electric socket on the wall where I wanted to put it, I look at the pictures of members rooms and they have their machines on the wall and side by side so I am not sure what is wrong with mine.


Thanks in adavance.
 
Has nothing to do with the wall itself, it's the Earth's magnetic field affecting the picture. Shut the game off, move it, wait a half hour or so, then turn it on. The monitor has a built-in degauss circuit to correct this kind of interference, but it only fires at poweron when the monitor is cold. So, move the game while it's on, and this will happen almost every time.

The same thing happens with televisions and computer monitors too.

if that doesn't fix the issue you can buy a degaussing coil that plugs into the wall and is more powerful than the one built on to the monitor. This way you can degauss whenever you need/ want to.
