I'd tell 'em to take it back. The CTX monitor that came with my Zeos
(purchased approx. 2 years ago) crapped out on me in about the same way
(vertical wavering, then permanently compressed). Unfortunately, this happened
about 3 months *after* the 1 year warranty ran out. It cost me over $200
to get it fixed.
