Look on your manual to see if this is possible. 2) That first 1/2 line is NORMAL and is part of the way AMBER de-interlaces the interlaced screens. If you can adjust your vertical size control to put this behind the monitors bezal it will help. The 1950 monitor allows you to do this and is an excellent monitor. 3) You may need to slightly adjust the Display Enhancer's fine tuning control as outlined in the "Introducing the Commodore Amiga 3000" manual using the included fine tuning tool. Please try to follow the instructions carefully.. this should solve your problem. I hope that this answers your questions!! Enjoy your new A3000!
