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). Danny : >Hi all, : > : >I have a CTX CMS-1561 (15", svga) monitor that has developed a : >noticeable vertical quavering.

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. : -I. R. Rutks (rutk0002@maroon.tc.umn.edu)
