This is out-of-focus-screen in view mode; [Up]


Date: Sun, 14-Apr-1991 21:30:06 From: grd@ccrma.stanford.edu Subject: out-of-focus screen I received my NeXT around August 1989, and around December 1990, the MegaPixel display started to lose it. It would go out of focus and also get intermittently dimmer. Someone on the net suggested I call NeXT, even though my warranty had run out. I did, and NeXT replaced the monitor, gratis! I was impressed. My usage was to leave it on all the time, but most of the time the monitor was blanked using Bryce Jasmer's LockScreen 2.1. I tried making some adjustments myself, and I could improve the focus over some parts of the screen, but could not focus the entire screen at once. I now turn my NeXT off when I'm not using it, hoping that this may increase the lifetime of my relatively new monitor. It helps that my machine boots a lot faster now with 2.0 and a 68040.
