I have a Sony Trinitron Flatscreen monitor and there is bowing of the
taskbar.

I have tried all the adjustments that I have access to on the
adjustment panel and still no luck getting it straightend out.

Is there any adjustment on the inside on the monitor that would get the
bowing out?

I know there are adjustments for the sides of the monitor screen
geometry but none for the horizontal bowing.

Thanks for any advice!

Depending on how much the bow actually is, relevant to true horizontal, it
may be within manufacturer specifications. Without getting into probable
service only level of adjustments, there may not be a realistic means.

Thanks for the feedback Art,

Any idea what it might cost to have a service person look at it?

It is bowed up in the middle about 1/8". I don't know if that is
considered alot in the monitor industry but it drives me crazy.

Monitors do not affect people's sanity Youre already crazy. And very
bored by the sound of it.

Silly me. See I thought the suggestion that you must be very bored to
be worrying over a 3mm deflection was a constuctive hint to rethink
what you were doing in life, but maybe not.

It's annoying, but most monitor and TV manufacturers do not provide for N-S
pincushion correction. I've seen and corrected some quite nasty cases
(strangely enough- on Sonys!) by adjusting the up/down position of the yoke
with rubber wedges, but this usually affects the top geometry as well, which
may or may not be desirable.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply.

Oddly enough it doesn't really have the bow on the top of the screen.

It seems to all be on the bottom.

So would adjusting the yoke possibly take care of the bottom bowing
without affecting the top much?

It's possible if the yoke has been badly fitted at the factory, ie, not
central and drooping slightly, to lift it a little and affect the bottom
with only minimal affect on the top. It depends on the individual case.
It's not a job I'd recommend if you're not electronically minded or
experienced with CRTs though- there's a real risk of seriously messing up
the picture and worse still getting a hefty shock.
