 no, there are adjustments for that (focus and screen) the problem you may
 have however is that different monitors use different configurations of
 windings on the flyback  so unless you've got one that's a similar model
 you're probably out of luck.

 to me a buzz suggests a problem with a filter capacitor.

 AFAIK the flyback transformweers are pretty tough and aren't damaged by
 much except other parts in the monitor failing.

something else which iw worth trying is just re-soldering the flyback,
sometimes the solder cracks...
