Hey, i currently have a Dell 15" CRT monitor that hasn't had any problems before up until now.

The issue is, at any time it spontaneously twitches. Not as in refreshing, or turning off then on but as in stretching.

For example, i'm browsing the net and all the sudden the botton portion of the screen stretches outwards in the blink on an eye, and then goes back to the way it was. The text, or images don't get stretched, but the monitor itself changes the angle of which the screen is emitting. So in other terms it feels like the monitor is getting bigger, but then it twitches to the original way it was.

It's hard to describe, but heres a good analogy.

A piece of paper. Let's say you were drawing on it, and all the sudden the bottom left and right of the paper extended outwards by a little centimeter, and the bottom part of the paper started to pop up.

That is kind of what my monitor is doing, and so i was wondering if it can be fixed with a setting in the Nvidia control panel. The hertz is set to 72, so it isn't a refresh rate issue at all.

Also, this "twitching".. Does it emit more CRT radiation? Like, when it twitches is there a emission that can hurt my eyes everytime it happens?

Try the monitor with a lower refresh rate.

If it is still doing it, the monitor will have to be repaired or replaced.

There is no danger to you from the monitor. It sounds like there is a part about to go out on you.
