My monitor is also "trapezoidal" -- the borders around the screen
image are uneven, with the upper left corner about .25 inch lower
than the upper right. This problem arose when I moved my system
from the east coast to the west. The explanation I got from NeXT
tech: the monitor needs to be adjusted for the different magnetic
field conditions present in CA. A "simple" magnet adjustment
in the back of the monitor should solve the problem. I would do
it myself, but I was told this would void my warranty.

I guess I'll haul all 40 lbs. of the beast to my nearest service
center sometime soon, because my perception of the NeXT world
is definitely crooked :-)
