(think of the shape of a ski jump) Geometry Menu options usually cover trapesoid, pincushion, barrel and parallel distortion not sweep linearity. Sweep linearity is usually an internal or hidden menu adjustment , as such you are likely to need the services of a Monitor Technician. Under those circumstances it may well be cheaper to locate a second hand replacement, or to look at a new LCD. Best Luck Paul.
