| 383609 | 2005-08-25 03:49:00 | hi, Just a small problem involving my display. Ive basically got an oval shaped picture on my screen. Its got a black horizontal bar at the top and bottom of the screen and is curved outwards at the sides. I know theres nothing wrong with the monitor, or the video card. Ive tried changing resolution, drivers, display settings even the physical monitor setting and i cant seem to get it right. Could it be the computer was 'set up' using a smaller sized monitor than the 17" im using now? Any help would be appreciated. -Thanks- |

It might be that the EHT is too high, so the deflection is less effective. Thus the reduced height and width. Changing software settings or drivers won't fix that. |

| 383611 | 2005-08-25 06:01:00 | That's not a EHT issue, it is raster correction. The image lacks height and has barrel distortion, and this is not the sort of fault that occurs through software issues or video card problems. How do you know it is not the monitor, have you tried it on another system? What make & model is it, and how old? If the monitor is modern and has the ability to memorise its settings, it may have temporary amnesia. Look in the manual (or search the on-screen control menu) for the height and pincusion/Barrel distortion settings. They should fix it if it hasn't developed an actual fault. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
