      Hello,
             I have a 486 with a Diamond Stealth64 Graphics 2000
Series card with 2Meg DRAM  I have the 14 inch ViewSonic 6E monitor
running at 800x600x32 bit.  I see on my screen a waver or ripple if
you look closely.  Is this what you all are refering to degradation?
I really do not like this card. I like my Genoa 8500VL card with 1Meg
RAM a lot better.  Some of the reasons are... The ripple/flicker of
course, the brightness is not very bright ar all.  I have the contrast
and brightness setting on the monitor turned all the way up and it is
still not bright enough.  Also I had to turn the vertical and
horizontal setting to the max.  in Win 95 and OS/2 Warp 3.0.   I don't
know if that has anything to do with aspect ratio not the same as the
monitors. If I put the settings in the middle the icons screen looks
squashed together.   I would like to avoid getting another card like
this one.   In adjusting my monitor the few times I ever go to DOS or
for the sign on screen it is all screwed up.  So the Vertical and
horizontal settings under DOS are a lot better.  Although the
brightness is about the same.

                                                   John
