Certainly not from a $635 CRT either. :O You can kind-of feel some energy being emitted from this thing. If I find that when I'm 50 I lose all my eyesight completely because this thing has deteriorated my eyesight, I'm going to be very pissed off. I normally have excellent eyesight, no glasses, no issues at all. Now I'm considering going to an optometrist to get my eyes checked. What has this monitor done to me. :p Honestly I can't set it up. If I lower the contrast it makes red look like maroon, and if I keep the contrast high, I start going blind and getting sore eyes. No win situation. Perhaps I should invite Billy over and he can get out his reading equipment and measure the EMF or something... *100mW* What you say!? :O I can get a refund for this can't I? It arrived last Friday, so Ascent have a 7day right of return or something. |

| 254796 | 2004-07-26 12:43:00 | You should be able to get a refund - if not just sell it on trademe! | agent_24 (4330) | ||
| 254797 | 2004-07-26 20:48:00 | If you want a replacement, just send it back under warranty kiki. You are entitled to an immediate replacement so don't let them try to fob you off with the old "waiting for the manufacturer's approval" argument. If you don't want a replacement, use the 7 day return option. For heavens sakes don't just sell it in Trade Me! Why should you incur a loss on what definitely appears to be a faulty monitor? You have tried all reasonable options, and having seen your photos, in my professional opinion it does appear to be faulty. My email address is on my profile if you need help off line.

| 254799 | 2004-07-27 05:41:00 | Went into Boise Office Products today to have a look at some anti-glare/radiation screens. They didn't have any in for 19" monitors, but get this - a 3M 19-21" anti-glare/radiation screen costs $300! :O That would bring my moniter spending up to $935. Heck I could buy an awesome LCD for a bit more than that. > My email address is on my profile if you need help off line. Cheers, I may need it if Ascent start to get rowdy. :D I like the email address too. :^O Thanks for all the help Billy, and everyone else. Much appreciated. |

| 254800 | 2004-07-27 05:59:00 | Those screens are not the answer kiki, in your situation fitting one of them is like installing giant water-cooled brakes so that you can keep driving a car with jammed accelerator. Ascent shouldn't give you problems, your rights are very clear. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 254801 | 2004-07-27 06:13:00 | I said: "...in the proffesional opinion of BillyT(Dip.Opt, BSc, BEE), this monitor is faulty." ;) :D No seriously, that won't be needed. I'm curious though - what qualifications do you have? You seem to know a lot about electrical type stuff. > Those screens are not the answer kiki, in your situation fitting one of them is like installing giant water-cooled brakes so that you can keep driving a car with jammed accelerator. How is that so? |

| 254802 | 2004-07-27 06:30:00 | kiki, you have a 3 year on-site ( that means at your place) warranty - why not get a tech out to sort it? | PaulD (232) | ||
