Hey, I just flipped my monitor and now the left and right side have a purple tint.
I flipped it from horizontal to vertical.

What should I do I heard you could get a wand or something, or will it go away. If I leave it on will the colour drain.
 
It sounds like you need to degauss the tube. It may clear up on its own over time but the quick repair is to degauss it with a degaussing coil they can be bought on eBay, from Bob Roberts, or at some better equipped electronics stores. Also, if you post your location another collector may have one and be willing to help.

Thanks for the help.

Anyways, I'm in toronto ontario so if anyone has a spare let me know.
 
Sorry for saying "he's right", but that's certainly a degaussing issue. I'm so glad have one of those round wands. I can't believe how many times I've used it on my stuff over the years.
