I remember being in a studio where the editor did his work on a PVM. Then to check it for broadcast he routed it to a domestic Sony TV. It looked terrible to me after we'd spent the day looking at the monitor, but it gave a good domestic picture.

You could always save up for a large screen BVM....
While I've got you, I just wanted to see if the attached looks normal? I turned the H-STAT all the way to separate the RGB and I'd hoped I'd find using the rings easier. Should the beam landing be so spread out like that as it gets to the edges? I feel like this may be part of the issue, the landing in the centre is almost on top of each other when the H-STAT is properly adjusted which may explain my symptom?
