just got a new monitor... question - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

ok, so I've been using a 15" old ass monitor since my first computer, and now I just bought a nice Samsung 19" flat CRT from newegg. Anyway, when I look at some things (especially forums, with horizontal lines across the screen) it seems that the picture is sort of caving in / warping into the monitor..

I dunno if anyone knows what I'm talking about, or has experienced this but uh.. is this just because I need to get used to the new monitor or is there a setting somewhere that can correct this?

thx in advance

Er, the manual should explain all the adjustments you can make. In this case, it's a geometry adjustment, likely something similar to Keystone.

A geometry correction as <b>tinfoil</b> said sounds good. Try pincushion.
