I've always been big into retro games, and in the last couple of years, I've started dabbling in some speed running.
This is when the input lag on my Samsung LCD started to rear its ugly head.
So after doing some research, I discover the retro paradise that is the PVM/BVM monitors.
After digging around various websites, I've managed to grab a Sony PVM-20N6E on Gumtree for free.
Now it seems to work perfectly fine, but after running the 240p test suite, I think it definitely needs some tweaking.
This is where I need the help of the retro guru's here.
I will say that I've been inside the monitor, and tweaked the focus pot, but this is the best I can get it. I've not touched anything else inside.
I'm also not concerned with the edges being off the screen as thats also easy to adjust via the service menu.
Here are some photos taken of the famous grid pattern, which hopefully should give you an indication of what needs tweaking.

Things I've noticed:
- In the second photo, obviously the lines are not straight on the left side. No idea how one would correct this.
- In the 3rd photo, as you get further from the edge of the screen, you can see green starting to bleed from the white.
- In the last photo you can clearly see the green bleeding as you get towards the center of the screen. It seems to get blurrier the closer you get to the center.
So yeah, if anyone can give me directions on how to correct these issues, that would be great. I'm not afraid to poke around, as long as I know what im adjusting.
Thanks
