Bingo!

I would shift the emphasis a bit and say that most modern and/or high
resolution monitors do it electronically because the mechanical change is
likely to change other things as well.  You may have to take the outer case
off to access the adjustment though.

Definitely try degaussing first also.  Many modern monitors lack a degauss
button because they do it automatically on power-up.
