Oh well, sounds like a hardware fault as I had feared. Many thanks to those
who took the time to reply. I guess it's never been /quite/ bad enough to
make me get it seen to! Now that I've seen the video specs for Phoebe it
sounds like Acorn have /finally/ made a machine worthy of having a very good
monitor so I think I'll suffer the absent-minded AKF85 and save up for a
decent 20/21" Sony or whatever's top of the range when Phoebe makes her
debut. I only hope that Acorn re-badge a more reliable monitor with her than
with previous machines! They seem to be using Iiyama's now so from what I've
heard that shouldn't be a problem.
