Is this something to do with the type of monitor or could it be a > fault? 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. -- To contact me please use email(at)sarpcuser(dot)fsworld(dot)co(dot)uk
