We've just installed a lab with TeleVideo 9320 terminals. The terminals
are great, except that we noticed the screens weren't straight.
The lab is smallish, with 14 terminals in one part, and 14 old ATs in another,
with metal benching and power & data cables running through trunking.

I was about to jump down the throat of our supplier, when the thought occurred
to me that there might be some interference, so I took the terminal into another

room and tested it. It was OK. I put it back, and then turned off all the
terminals, ATs & power in the lab, powering the terminal from another source.
The problem remained. It looks like EMI from another source, or a magnetic
field from the benching. Anyone had similar problems? Any solutions?
