It could be a bit better, it's been over 2 years, time to tweak the convergence again.
Dang those Les Chants magnétiques! :D

Reminds me of a (parody of a) schoolboy taunt "You're funny but your faceplate beat you to it!" :D

It's an obsession brought on by being severely nearsighted since very young, and having glasses even before kindergarten, and not always the best ones or with lenses that correct for chromatic aberration most of my life, it annoys me a LOT! :tears:
Thus I notice slight convergence errors that most don't.:D

And Les Chants magnétiques is a nod to one of my favorite composers.

It's a T933 chassis.
