I recently purchased a PVM 20L5 and noticed the geometry is off. I have gone into the advanced settings via menu, and pressing degauss/enter at the same time. I messed a bit with the geometry and probably made it worse than it was before. Is there a way I can go back to factory defaults? Does anyone have their numbers so I can copy it and get somewhere close to normal? Right now it's bowing on top, bottom, and it's wavy. Blah. Thanks for your help...
There isn't much info on how to factory reset this monitor, but from what I saw on a thread at the Shmups forum, It looks like you can set it back to factory settings by doing this: Open Menu, press Enter+Degauss, hold Blue only/Reset until it says factory, press Blue only/Reset again. This should put it back to factory settings. Hope this helps.
http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?p=908031#p908031 There was only one post that mentioned the factory reset (post 9). Hmm, keep carefully adjusting the geometry settings till it looks right. Not sure if you need this, but after searching on Google I found a service manual for the 20L5 (also for the other L5 monitors). Here's the link: http://elektrotanya.com/sony_pvm-14l5_pvm-20l5_pvm-d14l5a_pvm-d20l5a_rev.1_video_monitor.pdf/download.html Really hope this works!
I had to do that to mine and you can do it with the service manual, there is a chart that has every value for every setting under the service mode. Also you can do a factory reset as well but I suggest you don't and manually adjust it with the manual.
