LCD Monitor need alignment?
I have a 15" SYS LCD monitor model 154UG, manufacture date January 2002. The
display USED to fully fill the screen. But when I was working in Linux and Windows, I found every time I went to windows, I had to resync (hitting the "2" button to auto-align). I fixed that problem from the windows side and then I ended up rebuilding my system. The new motherboard was such that every time I used WinTV, the display would jump and blur, so I had to resync every time that happened. I since replaced the motherboard and video, so that doesn't happen anymore. Things are such that I don't need to keep resyncing the monitor to get the display right, finally. However, I'm wondering if all the previous resyncing I did has thrown my monitor out of alignment? If you'll look at this link: http://www.techimage.net/files/Monitor-001sys.jpg and please take note of the "black space" btween the display area and the edges of the screen. When I'm sitting at the monitor, there's a larger amount of black space on the left and bottom than there is on the right and top. Can anyone tell me if there's a way to readjust this so that the display again fills in the black space (or fills it in more evening). It didn't used to be like that when I had got this monitor brand-new. I won't mind if I even have to take the cover off and adjust something on the inside. I just would like to know WHAT to adjust, where to find that adjustment and how to do it. Any help would be appreciated. |

If you have changed video it is possible the monitor does not accurately detect and resync. I have an LCD with auto-sync and it does not sync correctly so I had to manually adjust it. |

I have an LCD with auto-sync and it does not sync correctly so I had to manually adjust it. Unfortunately, moving the screen won't make it go past. It's as if the actual display area has actually shrunk somehow. There's only H.Position/V.Position on the menu and the display just stops at the black areas, not filling them. The Phase/clock either doesn't seem to do anything at all, or blurs a portion of the screen text, making it a little bolder and fatter. No way to actually make the screen larger from the menu on this one. |

My old monitor (a CTX - another good brand) was 4 yrs. old and going, so a friend bought me this LCD one about 2 years ago. It's a nice monitor, but don't know what the problem is with that blackened area. |

Oh, you mean to use a TV set for a monitor? I have S/Video out on my video card but the cable that came with it has the two S-video plugs (it's not a ViVo either) and my TV set has RCA jacks for video in/out and audio in/out. So I haven't been able to afford and/or locate an adaptor yet. Would be neat to have it working on a TV set but I rather a nice lightweight monitor for normal use (ie. when I'm not playing games or watching TV or a DVD or something like that). |

They have to change everything with computers :-) Imagine the outcry if they changed the 240 outlet at the wall but unnecessary changes in PCs are common place. -- Michael Culley |
