The following are not malfunctions:

When a bright still image (such as a white cloth) is displayed for a long period, it may appear to be coloured. This is due to the structure of the cathode ray tube and will be deleted when another image is displayed.

You experience a mild electric shock when you touch the picture tube. This phenomenon is due to a normal buildup of static electricity on the CRT and is not harmful.

The monitor emits a strange sound when the room temperature changes suddenly. This is only a problem if an abnormality appears on the screen as well.
