Hello,

I have a couple CRT monitors ViewSonic 15" and Proview 19" both are new
but have problems...the entire screen on both of them are crooked or
slanted. I took them apart and there is no ajustment for this...what
can I do? Thanks for any replies

Are you sure there's no adjustment ? Many modern monitors have a skew
adjustment in software, that allows the picture to be rotated
electronically. You can also get what looks like a twisted picture, if the
top/bottom and sides trapezium/ parallelogram adjustments are both out.

The Dell monitor that I'm using right now, has no less than 11 'soft'
adjustments for raster geometry, including width, height, v.shift, h.shift,
rotation, side pincushion, side pincushion offset, trapezium, parallelogram,
top corner flickout and bottom corner flickout. Between all of these, it is
possible to get the picture near as dammit, perfect. I'd be surprised if
your monitors hadn't got a similar set of adjustments.

Failing that, assuming you are saying that the picture is rotated, rather
than distorted, it's a case of slackening the deflection yoke clamp, and
rotating the whole assembly slightly. However, you might want to take care
if you do this, and consider whether the level of error that you have, is
worth the trouble, as rotating the yoke can be difficult if the rubber
wedges have been silicon rubbered to the CRT bowl, and may lead to
compromised purity and corner convergence anyway.

Every modern CRT monitor I've seen has a tilt adjustment in the onscreen
user menu.

Most modern CRT monitors, and many of the newer CRT type TV sets have a
menu
command that is called, "Rotation", or something like that. Look though
the
menus of your monitor for that.

The more complicated way is to rotate the deflection yoke, which you do
not
want to do, if it is a simple user adjustment that will fix the problem.
If
you do end up rotating the deflection yoke, you may effect a lot of other
adjustments, which you may not be able to re-align yourself.

Or the entire CRT.

Does every news server provide every message from every thread? It's
been my experience that the answer is no. In direct answer to your
question, the answer to that is probably no also...there just isn't
time in many cases.

If people haven't got time, or can't be bothered to read the whole thread -
particularly the first few entries - then they will miss points relevant to
the original question, and will finish up merely duplicating replies that
have already been given. I see no point to this. Also, top posting does not
help, as it does not encourage people to look further down. This is not a
dig at anyone in particular, just an observation ...
