There is an inductor labled hWidth (I believe, I havn't opened my monitor in a few years) with one of those ferite slugs in it. You MUST use a plastic tool to turn this, metal tools will get inductivly heated very quickly and very hot, asside from the fact that the nearness of the metal tool will throw off the adjustment. I don't recomend this adjustment as it needs to be done with the monitor on with youre hand deep in the guts of the monitor much clocer than you realy want to be to the high voltage section. I used a rubber glove and it still made me nervous. If you are foolish enough to try it I take no responsibility. but then I would take no responsiblity anyway. Douglas Peale
