Running a Barco Graphichs 1208/2. What is the best way to focus it? I have the Avia disc and play it to focus and converge everything. Well when I have smaller letter on the screen IE: playing my playstation the bigger words are easy to read but the smaller ones are almost impossible to read. How do I know which of the colors needs to be focused? There isn't a shadow or anything like that. Just have a super hard time reading it and am going mad trying to figure it out. Any help would be really appreciated and I would be extremely great full.

You should find a starting point or two here under "General":

Do you have the manual? Things are described pretty well in it, but when you focus or adjust astig, set the contrast to 100%. It will make adjustments easier, as it's harder to focus a tube at high contrast, so finding the best focus and astig will show up better.

Just to let you guys know I got it to where I can live with it. Turns out I had my contrast and brightness and sharpness turned up way to high and forgot to turn it back down. I can read the small letters without having to guess what they say now
