Hearing about the benefits of being able to adjust things like picture placement on the pvms reminds me of my consumer Trinitron crt computer monitor. Seems like every other PCB places its picture a little differently on the screen, but thanks to the ability to adjust everything from position to key etc., it's no big problem, a clear benefit you get from monitors over some modern tvs.
The old thing weighs a ton though as a 19 inch screen. It was designed to sit on little molded on legs in front, as if having its huge weight on some kind of swivel like a modern monitor was an unrealistic idea. I got it back in the day as one of my first computer montors and never got around to throwing it away. Thank goodness for that, as it now leads a new life as an arcade game monitor since I found out about the benefits of crts and scanlines etc.
When I occasionally use my lcd for a larger, if inferior, picture, being unable to completely adjust the image placement is indeed a big pain. Good thing they made things to last back then, albeit to also never be lifted.
