EXCEPT....some of the time, on the occasional line, text is distorted
(looks as if it's leaning to the left). This isn't consisten, and if
(for example) I highlight that text, so it's reversed, it sometimes
straightens up.

I would suspect the monitor's setup. I have a couple of Planar 1600x1200
monitors that are very tricky to get set up just right; there is no "auto
adjust" like on later models. The vertical/horizontal height/width needed
tweaking to get the image to fit the display exactly. The final part was
fine tuning with the phase adjustment.
The distortion sounds like a phase misalignment. Such a misalignment
affects only some parts of the screen. By moving the window around you can
see the text distort and clear depending on its position.

Thanks...very useful. I'll have a fiddle!
