- I have the very same monitor that you are referring to and a can after many
- hours of trying to adjust every potensiometer I can find I can come to the
- conclusion that it's virtually impossible. I'm sorry.
-
- The smallest border I have managed get is an inch vertically and horisontally
- i Super72 using maximum overscan and the 3.1 monitor drivers.
- Equal border in DBLPAL, and even bigger in all the other.
-
- The reason for this is the videosignal from the Amiga since the monitor
- displays fine on a PC and therefore would work fine on a graphics card like
- the Picasso or CyberVision. I've learned to live for a while but now a
- graphicscard seems /very/ attractive.
