TOPIC



    I am using a Power Macintosh 6100/60 with an Apple Color Plus display or an Apple 16-inch display connected through the HDI-45 video port and a DB-15 adapter cable. On either display, the raster size has about an inch of black border and the raster appears small and shifted to the right. Why is this happening?

DISCUSSION


    When using the Power Macintosh with these displays there will be a significant change in the width of the raster. This is due to hardware differences between the respective video circuits. This identical phenomena occurred when these monitors were moved from an LC to a Macintosh II CPU. This is known to occur with Apple 14-in. displays, however the overall width of the 16-in. RGB monitor does not change, it only shifts slightly.

    The only solution is to make adjustments to the monitor's horizontal width control for the video port to which it is connected. In the case of the 16-in. display, you must adjust the monitor's horizontal centering control.
