Some are recessed and need a smaller screw driver to adjust.  I have one that should work for $500 USD -- US military pricing!

You can use a screwdriver carefully. I vaguely remember there was an all plastic screwdriver you could use.

It sounds like there is a problem on the A600 though.

The plastic screw drivers were non-metal (no iron to distort a magnetic field) and non-conductive to not conduct an electrical charge if you hit a live wire; the monitor uses a plastic knob with a screw-driver slot and bypasses these issues.

Or rather than adjust the picture on a CRT ( a common problem with CRTs) just buy another one with another fault; then you can wave your magic wand, click your red sparkling heels together three times while saying, "I wish I were home," and POOF! The two different problematic monitor will be merged into ONE!

[Likely with macrosomia, like Dolly the cloned sheep.]

Having the horizontal hold "off" on a CRT when there is a perfectly good adjustment screw in back (since TV's came widely available in the 1950's) seems like a perfectly valid reason to get another monitor that needs a $1.50 USD switch placed to turn that one off & on.  It not like you can get your butler or even the serfs out in the field to come into the Big House and fix things that require even a tiny amount of a modicum of minor effort.

Perhaps the chauffeur, after polishing the Bentley, could lend a nail file to the effort.
