I will take a look at the one on your page too. Convergence needs to be done before I can do purity since poor center convergence will make it hard to get good purity. Ill try and figure out convergence soon, but it sure is confusing!

As soon as you do purity it may throw dynamic and or static convergence off and to an extent vice versa....This will probably be an iterative process, touch up purity, touch up static convergence, rinse and repeat till it is right.

It may be wise to unplug the convergence yoke do the static and purtiy till right then plug it back in and go after the dynamic.....Make sure your H and V size and lin are right before doing the convergence since there will be interplay.

You'll probably be able to achieve good center convergence eventually. Edge convergence, in my experience, may be a little more difficult. If the picture looks good from 7 or 10 feet away and you've been dealing w/the convergence for hours...
Just know when to walk away. Or order up a strait jacket to restrain you from tweaking one more control.

Alas, My spellcheck let me down. Who knew?
My post has been corrected.

This thing keeps getting better and better! I was able to get decent center convergence with dynamic unplugged. Once I plug in dynamic it throws it off a bit but ill cross that bridge when I need to. But the picture looks a lot better with good center convergence for sure. And look at those colors!
