When I bought my ST (in '87), I was disappointed by the quality of the color
monitor I received (I'd seen a friend's ST & color monitor -- one of the
original ones that was nice and crisp).  Soon thereafter, I took the back off
of the monitor & proceeded to adjust every pot in sight, hoping that I could
get it to look like my friend's.  Needless to say, I got everything all out of
whack...  I managed to get it looking decent again, but have always wondered
if it's adjusted the way it should be.  Can anyone offer suggestions on how
to check my adjustments -- rules of thumb, and the like?  Perhaps a color bar
program...  That sort of thing...

Thanks in advance...
