I have a couple of questions for you. Hourglass display problem: Do you have any magnets near your monitor like (for example speaker magnets)? If so, this could definitely cause you some mischief. If not, it may need to go to the shop. Rotation problem: Which direction is the face of the tube facing? I'm serious! I have noticed on mine that when the tube faces north, that the horizontal lines are just about level. But, when the tube faces west I see the rotational problem you mention... I believe what is going on here is that the Earth's magnetic field is interacting with the electron beam in the monitor. Overscan problem: I assume you have adjusted the "Horizontal size" control on the back of the monitor? This does have a limited range, but, mine is ok. Hope this helps a little, Chuck Pooley My opinions are my own fault! Please forgive me, I'm still learning #%&! vi.
