Safe frequency ranges are in the monitor's documentation. Do you have docs for your monitor (I'm using it's a CRT). You can safely reduce either horiz or vert range. As the electronics[1] age, the monitor's ability to correctly sync the start of the picture with the start of the display area deteriorates, especially at the upper bound. If reducing the upper bound of the horiz setting improves matters, that is indicative of this happening. [1] more specifically, electrolytic capacitors. They are temperature- sensitive. Silicon does not "wear out" as such. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
