Hello, need some help and info. I have a tempest with a WG6100 in it, I can get the color lines to line up vertical, but I can't get them to line up horizontal. Is there an adjustment for it? I can't seem to find the adjustment in the manual. Any help or info would be great
Thanks john
Static convergence is basically the same for all types of monitors, and I will explain how to do it here.
There are 3 sets of rings, typically. The set closest to the front of the tube will be Set #1, the middle set will be Set #2, and the set closest to the neckboard will be Set #3. Start with a test grid if at all possible. Loosen the rings. Mark their starting positions with a sharpie (draw a line across them) so you can put them back to their starting point if you have problems.
First we will adjust the vertical lines. We will be using Set #2. Move the two tabs closer together or farther apart until the blue and red have merged perfectly to create purple. Then move both tabs together (keeping the same distance) until it lines up with green and creates white.
Now we will adjust the horizontal. We will be using Set #3. Move the two tabs closer together or farther apart until the blue and red have merged perfectly to create purple. Then move both tabs together (keeping the same distance) until it lines up with green and creates white.
Make sure that when moving Set #3, Set #2 isn't turning, otherwise you will have to repeat the process.
Once you have the horizontal and vertical adjusted properly, you can adjust Set #1 if necessary to center the picture as much as possible. Usually both tabs will move together as you center.
Retighten the rings when you are finished.
EDIT - since it got mentioned recently, I should point out that centering using Set #1 is for vector monitors only. On raster monitors, set #1 is for purity adjustments....
