| 99350 | 2002-11-18 05:26:00 | Hi I'm trying to fix a 5 year old 17" inch AS6S monitor. All the settings on the monitor itself is digital. When I try to adjust the horizontal stretch it slightly alters the ' )=( ' shape but all the other functions seems to be working properly. I was wondering if there is any thing I could do to fix this problem? I heard there are softwares out there which could adjust them and I would like to know where I could download them. If anyone has any idea on how to fix it, it would be much appreciated. Thx in advance~ |

You description (which is a good one) suggests the control you are adjusting may be the "pincushion" correction. This straightens out the curved sides, as you describe, but only within normal limits. If the picture is too narrow, and the control is indeed the "width" that you are adjusting, then it suggests a fault in the convergence section of the monitor. If on the otherhand it is the "pincushion" then its meant to do what you see. Perhaps you could describe what the fault is you are trying to correct? I am not sure there is any software to correct for a monitor fault. Are you sure you are running it within its ratings? (scan rate etc)? |

| 99353 | 2002-11-18 09:44:00 | Hmm... you can also get that symptom when the horizontal drive circuitry has become tired, and trying to stretch the width just results in the amplifier limiting and being non-linear, producing that pincushion effect. If you are indeed adjusting the width control, and it is as far as it will go, then its a hardware repair job. For a 5 year old monitor the economics of that may be iffy. |
