Yeah back in end of 2002 I suggested them to get a cheap monitor or a LCD, instead they got the 2nd top monitor at that time (for a consumer market), ha :D Don't ask me why. Last time they even mentioned about getting another CRT. They don't do high precision stuff like graphics so I dunno why they particularly like CRTs. Anyway, the monitor is 2.5yrs old maybe just over and has a 3yr onsite warranty, not sure if this would be picked up by courier (will know by Monday) as they are not in Auckland. What has happened is that if you tile a photograph on the background, like 3 rows, 3 columns. The right column looks wider than the middle and left column. Would this be repairable? To my eye I have to look carefully to get it, I am not sure if this is demned warrantable. The other thing is I won't list, that is, is this a hardware/software incompatibility? What happen is that after sometime the screen would go fuzzy .. to an extent you cannot read the words. If you do a reboot it comes back fine a but may come back after a few/couple of hours. A monitor turn on/off or a degause does not fix it, it needs a reboot of the PC. I have connected a laptop to this screen for like a whole day and it never happens, so would this be a issue with that particular PC? Its a old PC, AMD 200Mhz, running win95 with the drivers installed. Thanks in adv.	Nomad (952)

This effect is quite possibly due to horizontal non-linearity . If so, it is adjustable, maybe even from an on-screen menu if it is a top quality monitor . To prove this you need to get a large circle up on screen . This is easy to produce with any graphics program, even MS Paint (choose the oval tool and hold down the shift key to draw a perfect full-screen circle) . If the circle drawn is non-linear it is almost certainly a monitor problem . I wouldn't automatically blame the fuzziness on the computer or OS either . That could be a monitor fault as well, there are several relatively common defects that can cause that effect . What brand and model is it? Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)
