Stupid questions first ;)

1) Are you the only person who notices this?

Different people may see the same thing differently.


2) Do you wear fairly strong glasses?

I've found that strong glasses often distort straight edges when viewed
from an angle, try removing the glasses and compare.
Also, close one eye and view the edge of the picture from directly infront
of the edge, is it still bent?


3) Is this the first FST monitor you've had?

After using a 'round' monitor for several years it can be a bit strange
viewing a truly flat monitor for the first few weeks, your eyes are used
to 'correcting' the bent sides of a 'round' monitor, so they make a flat
screen look distorted.
