Is there a way to get more magnetic focus? They were all good for a long time but things started looking a bit off all across the screen. So I checked test screen and it was blurry. I adjusted the magnetic focus. Center is perfect and top and bottom are very nice. But both left and right on all tubes are maxed out on the settings and a bit blurry still.

Increase frequency if pj can handle more bandwidth. I'm running 1080/72Hz which was noticeably sharper than 1080/60

I'd suggest to check if the adjustments make any difference at all? Also, see if your astigmatism is dialed in right?

I reset the adjustments back to 50% and made slight adjustments back and forth. I realized that the center and edges effect each other. I was able to get it way closer than it was before. Not perfect but way better.
