For the Compaq 171fs and 151fs VDUs

The 17" Compaq 171fs VDU (and the 15" version 151fs) has a really complicated method of adjusting many of the screen functions, so unless you happen to have access to a manual you would be hard pressed to adjust trapezoid, pincushion etc.

Although I did eventually manage to find a manual myself, I couldn't find this information anywhere on the web. Not even on Compaq's website. I can't be the only person in the world to whom this would be useful, so here is a scanned version of the relevant parts of the Compaq manual. All rights to the information remain the property of Compaq.

If you find this information useful, please let me know

171fs+151fs info

NB: Some 151fs have rotary controls for contrast/brightness instead of up/down buttons. These have a slightly different method of using the 'function' button.
