There are geometry adjustment pots on the FD-20 that correct for trapezoidal raster. I have noticed the screen geometry varies between examples of this set. The FD-20 does seem to be one of the better models, built before they started cheapening things with the FD-10 which had no picture controls and could not even use an AC adaptor.

The FD-230 is a good set, solidly built and with a 2.7 inch screen.
