RE: WG15V2000 query

Check the HV. The screen can get larger when the HV drops. What you have
described is blooming.

If the HV gets too high, you can see retrace lines (on a color vector
anyways.)

Cheers,

I should be picking a kit up tomorrow (cheers Steve), so we'll see just
how close it is.

As for the blooming. Apparently it isn't doing that! I got corrected by
the guy that sold me the monitor when I used the term blooming. (He is
on this list, but I think away from mail for a few weeks). Apparently
blooming is quite harmfull to see, going "in and out / bigger and
smaller" quite rapidly??

Definitely isn't doing that! Just gradually creeps up to massively
bigger picture than will fit on the screen and then stays there.

Does that clarification of description help any? It's been driving me
barmy since I first bought this cabaret many moons ago!

As for the manual, sadly, despite my 15V coming in it's original box
together with all it's original packaging, it was devoid of manual. I'll
enquire as to whether the vendor kept hold of it, or perhaps the guy he
bought it from? Again, should be seeing him tomorrow too...

Cheers,
Martin.
