Samsung 710MP LCD TV / monitor

[Fujisawa]

Recently spotted an ok deal on this LCD screen from Wooly's, had some spare readies, so I splashed out thinking it was cheaper than a scan doubler and would do me for displaying my 1200t's productivity modes and 15khz untill I get my voodoo sorted for my newly arrived mediator (cheers motorollin :-) ! ).

Unfortunately though the amiga display seems to be offset low to the right.

Now I can fix the 15khz modes in workbench using the overscan prefs but my PPC card's vga boot and some of the productivity modes will not adjust far enough to view the whole screen, and games / demos that use 15khz still display offset to the bottom right and I cannot for the life of me find any controls for adjusting the display position on the monitor itself (or in it's osd).

Just wondering if anybody else had tried this screen or had any suggestions on how to shift the display (other than take it back and try another model all together)  ?

Any help greatly appreciated.

At the moment I have a combination of RGB -> VGA and RF connecting my miggy to the lcd - I'm waiting for my scart cable to arrive.

I have 13days left to decide whether I'm returning this monitor or not so I'll wait till the scart arrives and see if it fixes things for the 15Khz modes but I was rather dismayed that the productivity mode displays were offset and  unadjustable.

Is the lack of display positioning conrtols normal for an LCD TV?

Most LCD monitors I've come across at work have the standard PC type screen adjustment controls so I kind of expected a samsung "TV/Monitor" to have them too.

Thaks for your input guys but it's a moot point now, my SCART cable arrived and it did seem to fix the positioning (for TV modes) but for some reason all colours with a red value greater than 128 come out a horrible shade of orange / yellow through the scart connection.

Colours were fine through vga & rf so I know the monitor can handle the colour range, I then tried the cable with another scart telly I have and the colours were fine on it so I know the cable and my miggy aren't the source of the problem.

Tried various adjustments on the LCD but nothing changed the wierd colours so the screen's going back to the shop. (unless anyone has any simple ideas I've missed for sorting it ?)

Shame really as the screen was a bit of a bargain at £150.

Daniele:
It does handle 15khz through RF, scart, svhs and composite but not through the vga input.

Anyone got any suggestions for an alternative in the same kind of price bracket, 15" - 17"?

(I'd go for motorollin's one but I haven't got an asda within 70 miles of me and I can't find that model online anywhere :-( )
