Three other people looked one who uses computer now and again for very short
time. 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.
