Help with New Monitor

[PCPhreak]

Okay, I just picked up a 20" Sony Trinitron MultiscanHG monitor. The thing is beautiful and in great shape. The only problem I am having with it is that the image is tilted. I checked the OSD, but I can't find any controls for tilt. I was wondering if there is any way to fix this problem. I tried reseting the monitor, but to no avail.

My ATI video card has controls for the screen size and position. I was wondering if there is any software that would give me any advanced controls over the monitor.

Thanks in advance,
Brian

There have to be geometry settings in the OSD. That wouldn't be a cheap monitor with minimal controls.

Yeah, there are controls for pincushion, horizontal and vertical size and position, and so on, but no tilt controls.

Hmm, those are the controls you should need to correct the problem... it's just a nice combination of different settings. You should also remember to not adjust settings on your monitor until a good 20 minutes have passed since your monitor was turned on. Also, how bad is it? Did you buy the monitor and have it shipped to your house? If so, you may be able to thank FedEX, UPS, USPS or whoever played football (I mean shipped) your monitor.

Well, the monitor was given to me from my old web design instructor. He hadn't been using it, so he gave it to me. He didn't remember it having problems in the past. There are a few controls I can mess around with, but they all reach their maximum value before the problem is fixed. Someone on another forum suggested PowerStrip, so I will see if I can do anything with that.
