Is this to do with the screen?
There are 2 common types of image distortion:
Barrel - where the image centre seems to 'project' towards the viewer
Pincusion - where it seems to recede.

Nadelkissen
Not sure what that has to do with a hardware user's manual, but that's the standard German translation.

pincushion
pincushion = a small cushion in which pins and needles are stuck to keep them handy
I think here it's something to which you can paste many small things (for example pics, lines of code) to keep them handy (something like Clipboard)
