2494.0. "BACKGROUND Pattern on the FULL screen" by GUIDUK::SOMER () Wed Mar 21 1990 21:07

    
    With the advent of Sony Trinitron Monitors and SPX boards is there
    a way of getting the screen background pattern to cover up the
    entire  physical screen and this way getting rid of the 1/2" or so
    black border/stripe that surrounds the actual work area in the
    VR290 type monitors ?

2494.1	hmmmm...probably not...	GSRC::WEST	Variables don't, Constants aren't	`Wed Mar 21 1990 23:46`	11
	Probably not (easily anyways). It is physical/hardware and not software. It is possible to adjust the gun(s) beam to cover that area but they are usually set to give as close to as possible a square picture. This is done by adjusting the horizontal and possibly even the vertical of the monitor. Get out your (plastic) screw driver and go play. :^) I've actually seen a customer do this for the very reason your asking. -=> Jim <=-

	Though you might be pushing the video circuits very hard by doing this. Yes, it's too bad we don't do overscan.

	I have a customer that required an over-scanned screen and against our advice had the monitors adjusted to fill more of the screen. This has now affected the reliability of the screen and we have a problem with them falling over (not literally). Mike Stimson
