Anyone have convergence problems with their Sony monitors. I notice
the problem on my 1311 with yellow characters on a blue background
and with grey characters on a black backround. The letters have
a reddish tinge along their left edges.
Anyone else?

I am also using the Sony 1311, and I am delighted with the text
quality and sharpness. I know squat about monitors, but maybe you
need a demagnetization?
BTW, I use 'SETLACE' in all my startup-sequences, and I have dithered
the verticle hold a bit til the dark lines in the shadow mask
completely disappear. The reults? Looks like a huge Mac screen!
I have carefully examined the ST color (80 column) text quality,
and I honestly feel that mine is superior.
Also, I understand that some monitors can actually have the magnetic
field adjusted internally, but I don't think that's the problem. Why
not just return it?

Too late to return it, but I do have the extended Sony warranty.
Will probably give them a call for service. The display is sharp
- no question. Just looks like the RED convergence is a bit off.
I know that fiddling with the gun inside is a good way to make things
a whole lot worse! I use setlace too. Grey on black seems to work
out the best with VT100.

Contacted a place in Manchester, NH called Mohawk TV (or Mohawk
somethingorother). They are an authorized Sony Servicenter. Said
the earliest they could look at the 1311 would be next week. What
impressed me the most was when they asked for directions to my house.
Apparently, house calls are covered under the 90 day warranty! That
should be dandy since he the service technician can adjust it while
connected to the computer. Not bad.

Mohawk is pretty good. They used to be (and probably still are)
the local AtariService center.
Their location gives me the creeps tho. The parking lot is directly
under some high tension lines...buzzing overhead.

That's another nice feature of home service! | |||||
