Re: filmscanners: problem with monitor

[Arthur Entlich <artistic@ampsc.com>]

I feel you pain.  It is often so hard to know which component to target
as being at fault.

Some monitors might prove sensitive to voltage fluctuations, causing
image shrinkage and jerking.  If you live in a place where there are
electrical "brown outs" or anomalies due to stressed energy sources, you
might be experiencing low voltage conditions.  If you have a meter that
reads AC voltage it might be worth monitoring.
