Slanted screen on CRT monitors

Are you sure there's no adjustment ? Many modern monitors have a skew adjustment in software, that allows the picture to be rotated electronically. You can also get what looks like a twisted picture, if the top/bottom and sides trapezium/ parallelogram adjustments are both out.

The Dell monitor that I'm using right now, has no less than 11 'soft' adjustments for raster geometry, including width, height, v.shift, h.shift, rotation, side pincushion, side pincushion offset, trapezium, parallelogram, top corner flickout and bottom corner flickout. Between all of these, it is possible to get the picture near as dammit, perfect. I'd be surprised if your monitors hadn't got a similar set of adjustments.

Failing that, assuming you are saying that the picture is rotated, rather than distorted, it's a case of slackening the deflection yoke clamp, and rotating the whole assembly slightly. However, you might want to take care if you do this, and consider whether the level of error that you have, is worth the trouble, as rotating the yoke can be difficult if the rubber wedges have been silicon rubbered to the CRT bowl, and may lead to compromised purity and corner convergence anyway.

Every modern CRT monitor I've seen has a tilt adjustment in the onscreen user menu.

Most modern CRT monitors, and many of the newer CRT type TV sets have a menu command that is called, "Rotation", or something like that. Look though the menus of your monitor for that.

The more complicated way is to rotate the deflection yoke, which you do not want to do, if it is a simple user adjustment that will fix the problem. If you do end up rotating the deflection yoke, you may effect a lot of other adjustments, which you may not be able to re-align yourself.

Does no one ever take the trouble to read the whole thread anymore ?

UPDATE: I found the problem...the CRT yoke H/V deflection coil assembly wasn't aligned correctly...must have gotten bump out of whack during shipment and these monitors don't have the OSD menu adjustment.

Or the entire CRT.

Does every news server provide every message from every thread? It's been my experience that the answer is no. In direct answer to your question, the answer to that is probably no also...there just isn't time in many cases.

If people haven't got time, or can't be bothered to read the whole thread - particularly the first few entries - then they will miss points relevant to the original question, and will finish up merely duplicating replies that have already been given. I see no point to this. Also, top posting does not help, as it does not encourage people to look further down. This is not a dig at anyone in particular, just an observation ...
