Unhappy *UPDATE* My CRT is getting worse...

So after adjusting my VGA to DVI-I connection, the blue artifacting seemed to disappear. Shortly after, I tried increasing my CRT's refresh rate and found out about 1/2 an hour into use, it started to buzz so I reverted back to 60Hz and (although it didn't remove the noise entirely) it made it barely audible.

Now I went to sit down at my desk and bumped the table to see the worst thing imaginable. I saw my entire image warp for the briefest moment. I lightly banged my fist on the desk and kept seeing it reappear. After a quick power down and rest, I booted the CRT back up and it was gone. Although I was quickly greeted with the blue artifacting from before, which leads me to believe that problem was something to do with the CRT internally.

Everyday there seems to be something new to this CRT. I've only had it for a few months and I brought it to have a CRT (+ it matches my retro setup perfectly). I'd hate to see all the cleaning and elbow grease I put into it go to waste. If anyone can help fix these issues, please do! Thank you.

It looks like you might have a bad solder joint inside the monitor somewhere, possibly on the board that plugs into the base of the CRT.

FYI: Please don't start new threads for this monitor problem. Keep it all in the original thread so people can follow along without having to go back and find out what you may have done previously.

While watching the screen, wiggle all the cables and connectors to find a possible bad contact point.
