so i have been cleaning up my robo cop game and played it a few times...replaced the buttons and rebuilt the joystick...i noticed this white spot in the lower left hand corner of the monitor today? it seems to be bright at first when i turn on the game then it lightens up the longer it is on.

doesnt bother the game play but now that i have noticed it i keep looking at it lol.

anyone know what this is and if it can be fixed? I know nothing about monitors so...sorry if this is a dumb question.

pics attached...spot is seen in the lower left hand corner of both.

looks like the purity is a little off - bit hard to tell from those pics. It can be very hard, sometimes impossible to get it perfect. You could try degaussing the screen with a wand.

it looks about like it does in the pic in real life...the phone and light in the garage doesnt really help...its sort of a white gas looking blob down there that sort of fades out as time goes by.
 
If you adjust the image size, does the spot move with the picture it or does it stay in the corner?
 
does the spot move or change size by turning the whole game's position? If so....degause the screen. If not, you may have a cap kit to do.
 
i also see the color gains and biases need adjusted... i can see red bleeding though in the blacks... the blacks should be pure black not with a tint of red green or blue..

i dont know how to do any of this yet...i will get to reading up on how to do it and check back with you all...i just kinda needed some opinions on where to start and what it might be...so, this was really informative and helpful...thank you.
 
also forgot to mention that if i leave the game on long enough it will eventually go away? Does that mean anything?
