Hi Gary,
    The first thing to be said is that... even after a monitor has been
unplugged for a while there is enough oomph stored in the capacitors of a
monitor to:
Kill a healthy person!  (not just people relying on O2 bottles and pacemakers.)

Instantly melt a large chunk out of screw driver.
As such, CRT apparatus deserves the utmost respect and caution.  There are many
trained PC techs who won't go inside monitors and for the most part, I'm one of
them.

 There is likely a set screw or two inside the chassis that will do what you
ask but there is risk involved and your attempts at adjusment are likely just
going to confirm that something inside the monitor is failing, ie a part needs
replacing.  Many monitors are either still under a three year warranty or not
worth the cost of servicing them
