Forgot to mention it came on Thursday and I was on the phone to supplier,
then manufacturer direct and the latter agreed to swap as the effect was so
bad (with straight edge and more than the two mill he said was within
tolerance) that they collected and replaced yesterday.

So this morning set up new monitor and whilst the distortion, to my eyes,was
not as bad I am struggling. Could this be something to do with wearing
glasses.

I have just come back from Staples after scrutinising CRT and TFT and am
still not sure whether I feel I will get used to it. I take some of your
guys comments that after years of looking at Convex CRTS my eyes may need a
period of readjustment. However I have worked on quite few differing
computers and never found this problem before.

Bugger -- shall I persevere.
