Any VGA monitor that supports 15kHz should work. These are the monitors that have been
tested and known to work:
Benq BL702A

Yes.
Use the monitor’s front panel buttons to adjust what’s called “Coarse” setting… it will let you
widen the image. You can then adjust H-Position to center it back on the screen.
We’ve found that a Coarse setting of 860, and an H-Position setting of 73 works best for us.
