We've been getting 17 inch monitors galore, these as well as the Mag 17
inchers. Also teh Gateway 2000 15 inch ones that come with the
top of the line 486's.

Every single one has had to be adjusted. Only one out of maybe
10 or 12 was not adjustable to spec. You need a skilled tweaker; we're
big enough to have one in house, thankfully.

My particular MAG 17 needed focusing.
