Focus on a HP Model D8911
Hi ,
Can someone enlighten me as to why there are two focus pots on the FBT in these 19'' monitors , all i know is one is called "static" and the other "dynamic" Also whats the best procedure for adjusting it , i have a program called Keonig but i seem to get better results with a text document with a white background . Is there any other software freely available for testing monitors thank you |

Most of the time, the focus pots are H and V access. Use any software or
text that can produce a fine image to allow for focus adjustments. I use white text on a black background, with the computer running at the optimum resolution for the type of monitor. Use what is best for you to visually see what you are doing. In some monitors the focus adjustment will effect the convergence. If you want to achieve the optimum, you may have to also get in to the convergence setup if this is the case for your particular monitor. The main cause for the focus to drift out is the CRT going weak, and or the HV module is starting to go out of specs. With age, these parts tend to eventually fail. Usually they fail slowly. -- Jerry G. ====== "Sticks" wrote in message ...

Well I defragged my TV and went all the way back to basic cable! |

One will mostly affect the vertical focus (adjust for sharpest horizontal lines) and the other mostly affects the horizontal focus (adjust for sharpest vertical lines). The controls interact, so you'll have to adjust them both several times. Be sure to wait for it to warm up for about 20 min before you start. I like to adjust the horizontal focus for the sharpest vertical lines near the left and right edges of the screen, followed by the vertical focus for the sharpest horizontal lines in the middle of the screen. The horizontal focus tends to affect the edges much more than the center. You mat have to compromise between center focus and edge focus to avoid the corners being way out of focus. Andy Cuffe |
