Sony FW900 CRT: Glowing around the edges of white areas

[supercoolville]

I just got a Sony GDM-FW900 and I am configuring the colors. For some reason there is a subtle glow around white areas.

Example of what it looks like:

Which settings should I adjust to fix this?

Ive tried changing the brightness, contrast, rgb bias, rgb gain, etc and I havent been able to fix it.

Has anyone else had this problem?

C...R...T...? Never heard of it. Picture of the monitor please?

I tried but I cant take a good picture. If you look at the picture above you can see the example I made. Whenever there is a white box or any light color near a black area, the light from the white area bleeds into the black area like a glow.

this is normal for crts - i think it's called the halo effect. This is why LCDs have superior ANSI (checkerboard) contrast to CRTs.

I still love my fw900s

Normal. It gets a lot worse once you remove the antiglare film.

this is called "blooming" turn down the contrast a bit to help.

here is some more info on the contrast setting and the relation to blooming and how to set it properly:
