I have the same problem too, it happened just three weeks ago after my system 
is about 1 year old. Zeos sent me a replacement monitor (still CTX CMS-1561) 
a couple weeks ago but still the new monitor had the same problem so they now
sent me the replacement for the video card - I haven't tested the "new" video
card (I quote the word "new" because Zeos actually sent me a used video card, 
I can tell because it's dusty, dirty, and not in the original shrink-wrap 
plastic. Shame on you, Zeos).

: 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.
