After reading other posts yesterday I thought I would just settle down and
get used to it. But after going round a few computer shops and speaking to
my engineer I am told that sometimes, even after a few weeks, some just do
not seem to get used to this type of monitor.

So as I type it is re-packaged and I have submitted a returns request
(internet purchase) even though there is a 15% charge. It is just stressing
me out now.
