This is typical of other machines. We have several NeXTs here at Miami,
and we found out what caused it. The monitor is actually visibly sensitive
to the earth's magnetic field! I can't remember which orientation gave
the best picture, but I believe that is was the user would be facing west
if using the NeXT (right side pointing north, left side pointing south).
Try orienting it in different directions. You should find it will clear
up the problems, however slight they are.

Just the pesky magnetosphere......
