Summary: Yellow-brown spot on the right side of the screen.


	Recently, I've noticed that the right side of the screen of my Amiga
1080 monitor (coming up on 2 years old) is yellower than the left side.  I
wrote some short programs to diagnose the problem, and I seem to have iso-
lated it.  When the Amiga displays a screen that is black (000) on the left
side and white (FFF) on the right side with black borders, the white part of
the screen becomes shaded with a burnt-looking brown.  The problem is 
especially noticable when the brightness and contrast controls are turned up.  
Has anyone else had a similar problem?  Is my CRT bad, is the monitor
circuitry dying, or what?
