Morning all,

I'm currently restoring a SE/30 and am wondering if I should try to get hold of a new monitor as the existing one is showing a reasonably high level of ghosting. Does anyone know if there's a way to adjust this out?

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean burn in? Then no, there's nothing you can do, it's phosphor burn due to the extended use of the CRT. If you decided to want to replace the CRT, I have a couple spares.

Nah, not burn in. Ghosting. I can see it most when using the pull down menus. It's like the white is smudged.

You can probably fix it by adjusting the pots on the analogue board, for example (focus):
