I've made an adapter to connect a DECmate III to a standard composite
monitor (using the details posted here, thanks), but I haven't been able to
get any of my monitors to work properly with it. On every monitor I've
tried so far the one or both sides of the picture stretch off the screen
and the h-pos/h-width controls do not provide enough adjustment to correct it.
Is there a fix for this? Any suggestions of monitors that will work other
than a VR201 (old mono monitors are getting hard to find around here, let
alone a VR201).
I don't know if this might work, but we used to do it in the old days .

Slide the yoke back on the neck a fraction of an inch/centimeter. This
was the way Sony Trinitrons controlled deflection on the older sets. If
it is color, you'll have to go through convergence; if it is b&w you're
home free. Watch out for distortions.
