Well, I shifted red and blue in the convergence menu and looked at the 20% field with VE. Hard to tell initially, but after my eyes adjusted I could see three separate curved lines, though they weren't especially distinct. The edge of the shape was essentially blurry though. So I guess that...

Well, I'm PRETTY sure I saw the edge of the curve on the CRTS, not necessarily the whole shape because of seeing all of one color. Certainly harder to see in the red. I'll try the misconvergence though - good idea. I like it better than cracking the baby open every time. I'm afraid I'll start...

Hmm...that's what Michael said initially but I thought because I could see the shape in the CRTs it was something on the CRTs (i.e. burn in). So you're saying it's a lens artifact and that if I removed the fresnel I wouldn't see it in the CRTs? Truly, how "normal" is this? I'm no expert by...

The vertical bars are a bit overapparent in the photo. It actually looks more like one big shape, which reminds me of those cut out graphics they do for local affiliates to do a news teaser during network show end credits. I'm having trouble believing this is a result of my being careless...

I took a pic of the screen displaying 20% Flat Field from Digital Video Essentials and posted here. I also reconfirmed the artifact can be seen looking directly into the CRTs (well, with the lenses located between myself and the CRTs still). Not easily visible in the Red but visible in the...

I don't think I've used anything except VE, but aside from that, there are several other reasons why the THX pattern would not be the cause. The THX circle is centered, whereas the shape on my set is on the left side. The shape on my screen is also not a complete circle. The pattern that burned...

If it helps, the problem is also visible with other sources, not just the DVD player.

Thanks for the thoughts thus far. Having a somewhat limited knowledge of what can affect CRTs, burn in was the only thing I could think of but then, as I mentioned, it just didn't make sense (opposite behavior, etc.). I assume the 10 IRE field is available on Digital/Video Essentials, but it...

First a disclaimer. This is NOT meant to discourage the investment in an ISF calibration, especially from experts like our own Michael TLV (who did my calibration). If anything, it shows exactly what a display fails to show a person pre-calibration, what a calibration is capable of revealing...
