CRT color blotch

[Greg Lovern]

My CRT monitor has suddenly developed a color blotch in the upper left
corner. It turns blues green, turns greens red, turns reds blue, and
turns yellows and oranges purple.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing magnetic nearby. And nothing around
the monitor has changed that I know of.

It's a 22" Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 200.

Does this mean the monitor is dying? I assume any professional repair
would exceed the replacement cost. Is there anything I can do myself?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Degauss? The monitor may have a built-in degausser...

Degauss makes it look right for a second or so, then I hear a second
click and the blotch reappears.
