Yes the horizontal and vertical size and position are both adjustable. I seem to have one small snag though. The Enhanced-Deinterlacer won't give me a picture that I can centre on the sceen when using overscan. I can adjust the overscan to reach the lefthand edge of the sceen, but the righthand edge of the picture won't go any closer than about 1.5 cm from the edge of the sceen, the rest is left in the background colour, unusable. The result is my picture is offcentre ( nearer the lefthandside). I can centrallize it by reducing the lefthand overscan. But that reduces the size of my picture.( the monitor ajustment can't make it any bigger). I suspect the this has something to do with the enhancer-deinterlacer, not the monitor. Interestingly, if I switch to PAL mode instead of Multisync mode I get a larger picture, and I can centre it. Has anyone else noticed this, or know why the multisync picture is so different from the PAL picture.( why is it smaller? why isn't it centred?) Andrew Chalmers Digital Communications Group (D.C.G.)
