Focus on CRT monitor

john539

Can you adjust the focus on a CRT monitor ?

The focus doesn't seem as sharp as it should be.

There are various settings in the setup menu:

Contrast
Brightness
H. Position
H. Size
V. Position
V. Size
Rotation
Pincushion
Trapezoid
Parallelogram
Pin. Balance
Moire Adjustment (V. Moire & H. Moire)
Corner (Top & Bottom)
Color Select
OSD Adjustment
Reset
Degauss


Can you use these settings to adjust focus somehow ?

Focus is preset inside and the control has thousands of volts on it.

The focus coils may have moved. Has it been dropped ?

Have you correctly set the screen resolution ?

Time for a nice new 24" model

It's an internal adjustment and as the HT runs at 15,000v or thereabouts and can kill anybody not already knowing how to do this job would be well advised to junk the CRT and buy a nice LCD monitor instead. They are pretty cheap these days and use a lot less electricity.
