I believe you addressed this NTSC colorbar monitor adjustment procedure to the wrong person. I was responding to a request by John Tissavary for a targa file of NTSC colorbars which I had uploaded some months ago. I was just inquiring whether he knew how to do the adjustment procedure. As some monitors do not have a blue gun switch and therefore, you have to use the blue glass method, although not as accurate. I do have a question on monitors for you: I have a JVC 9" with x-pulse on. The video at the cross is slightly skewed to the left with clean camera or signal generator video fed to the monitor. The fast AFC switch affects the amount of skewing. ie in fast AFC it is more skewed than in normal AFC. If I remove the 3.58 burst the cross looks perfect. I've seen other monitors (same model) and they look OK. I don't have a manual or circuit diagram for the monitor and it's not in warrantee. Do you know of an adjustment to remove this skewing? It's not worth the service tech's fee to fix this minor imperfection but I'd appreciate it if you have any thoughts on this.
