I have increased my Mac's video screen from the standard  6 1/2 * 4 1/4 inches
 to 7 1/4 * 5 1/4 inches. The following adjustment will increase the size of the
 video image by about 20 %. To do this just open your Mac and adjust the, well
 labelled, potentiometers, on the video board. The potentiometers are very easy
 to reach and adjust. After you have enlarged the video image, to just short of
 the periphery, then readjust the focus potentiometer.
 
 BE VERY CAREFUL!!!  There are very HIGH VOLTAGES on this board. Use an
 insulated screwdriver and adjust only the potentiometers. You shouldn't have
 any problems so long as you DON"T POKE AROUND! 
 
 I now find it so much easier working with this wide screen Mac. The only short
 comings you might notice is that the focus may be off, very slightly, in the
 screen periphery. To provide a reference for focusing I used 9 point text
 across the entire screen.
