Running Linux Xmame and a Nintendo Emulator on my Panasonic TV via S-Video. I have this odd purple patch slightly up and to the left of center. I never noticed it watching TV, but do when the computer is attached. The thing is, it's not always there. If i run super mario brothers, for example, the screen will start off looking fine but after about five minutes the purple patch will appear. If i switch back to watching TV for, say, 30 seconds, and then go back to the game the patch is gone (but reappears after some more time)

I thought maybe my speakers were too close, but moved them to no avail (also when i move them closer the color they induce is green not purple). After moving them. I did several cold power ons (wait 30 min) to get the internal degausser to work. Problem is still there.

Any ideas?

Sam.
