- Never mind! I just called NEC tech support and was told that
- "5 millimeters or less" is an "acceptable" amount of tilt according to
- their internal standards. To me, it looks plain silly, but the tech
- support guy said that "any" monitor displays "some" tilt when you use
- full overscan, and that NEC's standards are "more strict than most other
- manufacturers'."
-
- So I got the answer, but it isn't the answer I wanted to hear.
- There's really no way to fix the tilt. Sigh.
-
- Also, I should have known that the Amiga was not at fault because it
- had a motherboard swap several months ago (for a different reason), but the
- tilt problem remained.
