I've got a TV that's maybe 10 years old. It's a 27 inch (I think) Zenith. As long as I've had it, I've noticed that the edge of the image is cut off by the case, if that makes sense. I'm probably missing 1/2 to 1 full inch of screen all the way around. For most TV shows, this isn't really an issue, but for video games and sporting events (where useful information might be displayed against an edge), it can be quite annoying, as there might some info that I can't see.

I assumed that I was SOL in terms of fixes to this problem, as there doesn't seem to be any useful settings within the menu/options of the TV itself that would help... but I got wind that there might be something I can adjust, perhaps inside the case on the CRT, that would alter the size of the image displayed. Something along the lines of making the image smaller, so that nothing would be cut off by the case.

Does anyone know if that is actually true? Is adjusting a CRT like that usually possible? Any info to lead in the right direction would be much appreciated.
