The latter said looked OK to her but the other two who use computers daily said they said it gave a concave appearance. My glasses are for reading only and not very strong, tried with two old pairs and without and still found the concave effect. If you look close at each of the vertical and horizontal lines and it appears straighter. Yes my first FST but I am worried as I spend around five hours daily at the computer working on many files that include design layouts with multi photographs and text boxes. Since my first posting yesterday morning I find myself getting a little more used to it but no lessening of the concave effect and feeling extremely disappointed with what should of been a quality monitor. Number one in PC Advisor month after month. Duncan
