The monitor was blurry and did not have much color. all the caps looked pretty good, and several had been replaced. C107 was domed and I replaced it. The focus is much better, but the smaller print is still a little blurry. And the color could be better. Do I need to replace the caps anyway, or try adjustments?
Thank you
 
If it were me and I already had the chassis out, I would just replace them all. More often than not you can't tell a bad (or failing) capacitor just by looking at it.
 
if you have poor focus, more than likely your flyback is going bad.

I see it all the time on the U5000/K7400/K7500. heh they generally have garbage tubes too. maybe you're lucky.

you can't visually tell if a cap is bad. sure, you can tell it's bad if the top's blown open, but there's perfectly good looking caps that are bad too. you know how I know? cause I've replaced a whole mess of caps that "look good" and I saw a substantial difference in the image quality.

just saying. you always replace them all.
