My Spectra2500 was purchased fresh when they were first shipped. Zero problems in the 2D quality department. I have only tested up to 1024 x 768 (anything higher would be overkill for my monitor, no matter what video card is used). I normally use 800 x 600, due to the size of my monitor - "only" 17 inches. Do your display problems occur in every resolution/refresh rate?
