I'm using one of the new 17" monitors with an old ND and cube setup.  The image  
starts approximately 8 mm from the bezel on the right and 13 mm from the bezel  
on the left.  It is not at all distracting, and in fact I hadn't noticed it  
until the subject came up on this thread.  (5 mm is slightly more than 3/16")

My flickering--really more the image shaking--problem still recurs occasionally  
(it was quite bad earlier today, but barely noticeable now).  From my  
experimenting, it appears to have nothing to do with the position or  
orientation of the monitor, nor with its proximity to my MegaPixel mono or  
cube.  It seems to be related to the building power in some way.  The main feed  
for the building runs right under my floor--this has been suggested as a cause,  
though there really shouldn't be unbalanced magnetic fields with an AC feed.  I  
also plan to put a line conditioner in as soon as possible and see if that  
cleans up the problem....
