I just bought an Atari SM124 monochrome monitor for the 1040 ST and am a little disappointed by the size of the displayed screen area. The physical screen is 6 7/8" by 9 1/2" but on my monitor the actual displayed image is 4 7/8" by 8 1/16". The vertical distance seems a little small. Could anyone tell me if this is standard or if my monitor needs adjustment; if so, are there adjustment controls inside the box? Thanks, logical: John C.

The reason given by Atari for the small image size is to maintain linearity of the screen image. Several articles have been published giving instructions on how to enlarge the image. On my screen, the very bottom line has a definite curve, but the larger image is nice. I guess it comes down to the choice between perfectly square pixels or less eyestrain. Bruce D.
