Hello guys, I am the proud owner of a new MVS-2 13" mini cab. There are just a few things that need adjustment.

The horizontal and vertical stretching of the picture is off and I am trying to adjust. There is about a half inch gap on each side and the picture is being stretched past the viewable bounds of the screen on the top and bottom. Should be able to see what I mean here. Look at where the picture ends on the cars grill, decent gap between the image and edge of the monitor.

Anyway, I am an arcade n00b, but I have been reading up on how to adjust them. I found several adjustment pots at the rear of the monitor, but I cant find any that adjust the stretching.


I found the brightness, focus and RGB adjusters.

There are also 2 more adjusters here, both seem to also control RGB in some fashion, but there are only 2 of them. Weird.

Anyway I have watched several youtube videos on the subject and read a few articles. There are supposed to be about 5-6 other pot dials specifically for adjusting monitor stretching on most monitors. I just cant find them! Please let me know if I am overlooking something!

**My effing host sucks! I contacted them and threatened with violence. We'll see what happens. Please everyone come back later, pictures should be up then. I appreciate your help.**


Thank you!

Then you are crazy. The picture extends all the way to the top and bottom of the screen and there is a half inch gap on either side. I know these monitors can be adjusted for horizontal and vertical positioning/stretching. I just don't know where on mine. It would make no sense that the picture can go all the way to the top/bottom edge but not the sides.

Check out this video!

Pay attention around 2:55

The half inch gap is because the monitor is curved and the picture's edge is flat.

Do you want a bloated image to fill the gaps on the sides?

I will take a better picture when I get home in test mode with the grid screen on. The grid appears rectangular. The picture is clearly squished. Things that are are round appear oval. Fitting the picture to the edge would not make it appear bloated.

HA! Found my answer!

This isnt a picture of my monitor, but I saw these things on mine when I was messing with it.
