Samsung 29' CRTV Geometry Issue

Hi,

Last week i entered the service menu of my 29' Samsung CRTV
and played with it and payed for it. Now it's geometry is messed up.
What should i do to fix it? Will resetting to factory settings do the trick?

As far as I know, that will make it worse. If you have a dvd player that can show jpegs then download a test card and display it on the screen. You will have to correct your tv geometry by eye.

There's a hidden Widescreen test card on Freeview, which might come in handy. That's if you're in the UK of course, and have a widescreen telly.
