I just purchased a used Snow CRT iMac (Summer 2001), and the screen is blurry in the center (but sharp on the edges). It's also fairly dark, even with the brightness all the way up. The picture is also slightly crooked, and the rotation control in the Geometry preferences doesn't do anything. Did I just buy a $425 lemon, or is it possible to adjust the focus and brightness somewhere on the inside? Or, is it possible to replace the monitor with the one from my Blueberry 333? That monitor is bright and sharp. I can live with it being slightly crooked, but not dull and blurry. Otherwise, this is a great little machine.
The easiest solution would probably be to just hook another monitor to the spare VGA port on the back-underside of the machine and using that as the main monitor.

I had actually thought of that, but all I have are two very old Apple monitors that are not high-res, and there's no room for it anyway. I'd be very surprised if there isn't a focus adjustment knob somewhere inside, just like on a TV set. Question is, where? Are there any websites that would show that kind of info?
