Hey all, I had a pop sound happen on my monitor the other night, and all of a sudden my blue color cutoff increased dramatically, and the screen also got a slight bit lighter, but that could have just been the shift in color that made it appear slightly brighter.

I adjusted the blue cutoff and got i t back to normal, and I still have this control over the blue, so I'm not sure what exactly happened with that pop. All is again looking great.

Anyone know about anything like this?

Thanks and Happy Holidays KLOV!!!

Generally, a "pop" is a cap cutting loose. Look for swollen or otherwise distorted / top popped off caps.

The whole top of the cap may be missing. Look for what doesn't look right. Use a bright light, and watch out for the anode wire.
