The green image on my 1031q has what appears to be a small dead spot low in the on-screen image. Looking at the image with the lens assembly out, it looks like a small trapezoid. In fact, I get the impression it's a foreign object on the other side of the liquid-cooled screen thingy. But when I power down the crt, I can no longer see it.
The bottom line is you can, at times, see a small pinkish spot in my 4x3 image. I plan on resizing to 16x9. I figure I can configure the image so you can't see the spot at all. On the other hand, I'd rather not have to.
What's my next step? What's behind the liquid panel? Am I going to really screw it up if I disassemble it? Or is this just a waste of time?
Opinions?
Thanks!

BYW - My VB50HRTV tuner showed up yesterday. I ran down to Radio Shed and picked up a 25-pin female lead. Canibalized an old VGA cable I got from work. (Thanks again for the pinout diagram Jason!) This puppy rocks!
The quality of the image just took a quantum leap forward. OK, it's not a big dollar rig's image... but all told, I'm up to about $375 invested. But I'm already at an image quality better than my off the shelf RPTV. And I've had a lot of fun putzing at night in my garage.
If I get a chance, I'll try to take a pix to show you where I'm at with it.
