I used to work on Apple monitors a lot, mostly OEMed by Panasonic and Sony.
There was special elaborate software that communicated with the monitor and
was used to adjust the bright, sub-bright, geometry, etc. If you replaced
the main controller board in some of those monitors, you had to make sure
that you downloaded and backed up the monitor's configuration so that you
could re-upload it onto the new board and get the settings for the
individual tube, yoke, and flyback right - otherwise it was very very
difficult to adjust without signal generators and other special tools.

It wouldn't suprise me if there was special software.
