WG K4900 in cocktail table changes color when closed
This WG K4600 is mounted inside a cocktail Pac-Man machine. When the lid on the machine is opened, the monitor works beautifully. However as I start closing the lid, the colors slowly start changing until the lid is closed, and the majority of the screen is in a different color (it almost looks like color burn). This change happens slowly as I close the lid, from one side (the one opposite of the hinge) to the other (the hinge side).
I am currently suspecting two things. Either I need to degauss the monitor, or the proximity of the transformer assembly to the monitor is changing the colors. I want to say that its the latter, because if I needed to degauss it, wouldn't it always be discolored? It's flawless when it's on its side, only when I close it does it discolor. Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? Any suggestions?
To further diagnose it, I'm thinking of dismounting the monitor from the top of the machine, and elevating it, to see how distance from the transformer assy affects it.
