When I first got my Amiga 3000 and 1950 monitor, I noticed that the picture was
not always rock solid.  The problem depended on how long the system had been
on, which video mode I was in, and whether images were being moved on the
screen.  After much testing, I determined that these problems had nothing to do
with the monitor itself, but rather with A3000!  I called my dealer, and he
told me to adjust the fine tuning screw next to the display enhancer switch on
the back of the A3000.  This screw is documented in the small book that came
with the A3000, but I hadn't gotten to it yet.  The perfect adjustment varies
according to how long the computer has been running and what video mode I'm in,
but I can always get a rock solid screen by fiddling with that screw.  I don't
know whether the problems that others have been having are the same ones, but
for those who haven't tried adjusting the screw, try it!

Note to the designers: it should have been a knob, not a screw!  I'm thinking
about hacking in a knob myself (near the front of the computer).
