If it were a convergence problem you'd see fringes of the opposite color 
(cyan?) on the opposite side of the screen objects.  Since you don't mention 
these I'm assuming that it's not the case.

I'd change that out and go ahead and see what it looks like.

Well,  I wouldn't worry too much about the beam current and all that stuff -- 
change the resistor out and see what you end up with!
