Re: anybody tweaking monitors?

Thanks for the comments, folks. The I didn't really have in mind so much the standard adjustments, which are indeed very important (if you want to learn what a challenge that stuff can be, restore a few 50's vintage tube TV sets!!!) as much as performing changes similar to what we might do to audio gear to clean up the power, improve sensitivity, etc., allowing for the increased bandwidth of the device in the design of those improvements.
Look at the typical weiner power cord on these devices, the noisy rectifiers, cheap adjustment pots, low quality jacks. Seems like the bandwidth of video really cries out for some inspired improvements to the connection, filtration, and power delivery schemes of the typical monitor.
I'll fool with this a little, as the monitor I have was acquired at the right price ( yeah, somebody really nice gave me a 32" Sony when they bought a new one! I have some great friends) and is showing a bit of age (green is a little lacking, sound has long since died, but isn't used anyway) and report any discoveries...
