I just bought a (albeit used) DEC VR290 monitor for my VAXstation
II/GPX.  One annoying picture quality problem is that features being
displayed (like characters) bleed somewhat off to the right of
themselves and although I have adjusted the focus inside, the
characters seem less defined (e.g. not as sharp) as I think they
should.  It is almost as if the video signal from the MicroVAX is
reaching the monitor attenuated to a noticable degree.  The BC18V
cable I received that interconnects the two in my opinion is amazingly
long (I imagine the longest they made it), were there shorter ones
made?  I've spent quite a while attempting to correct the problem
by making adjustments inside the monitor but I can't get the bleeding
problem to go away (nor it focused better than it is).  It really looks
to me like a signal strength problem, although I obviously could
be wrong.  Do all VR290's exhibit this behaviour or is this a specific
problem that can be corrected (aside from replacing it)?

Thanks.
