What were they thinking, why did Amiga Inc let it go out like this!!??

a) Amiga Inc didn't exist when this monitor was designed.
b) This monitor wasn't designed for Amigas in particular. It was later rebadged as "Amiga" brand though, mainly because it was about the only monitor that could display 15KHz modes.

Amiga was pretty much dead back then already. Only thing they could do was to rebadge existing stuff.

Actually there was a tool called MonEd that could be used to tune existing monitors (DblPAL etc) in detail... However I never could figure out how to use the tool to get wanted results, except experimenting.

I could get the borders smaller with friend's 15" Microvitec, and also allow more overscan... and even cure disappearing mouse pointer (far right) with DblPAL overscan.

PS. Don't even ask how I did that, it was some 9-10 years ago.
