2mm of pincushion is usual on a flat tube???
 
I am surprised. I would say that was way unacceptable - after 
suitable adjustment of the monitor controls had minimised it of 
course. My old-style monitor has some residual barrel distortion as 
tested with a straight edge, but it's a lot less than 2mm. (Perhaps 
1mm on the worst side, negligible in use.)

Did all the flat-tube monitors you looked at suffer like this, or 
only the Mitsubishi? What about solid state LCD displays?

Anyway you've sensitised yourself to the problem now and probably 
won't be able to ignore it so getting rid is the sensible thing.
