Paul, Mike: Thanks both. Looking for documentation right now. But I
may well reconcile myself to living with it until my well-overdue PC
upgrade, when I may treat myself to a 22" or 24" wide screen LCD/TFT.

There is a menu entry called Linearity. But it appears to be affect
'squashing' at top and bottom, not left and right.

Any idea about this one called 'Recall'? It offers just Yes and No.

Mike: As mentioned, image only distorts when it's close to right edge,
whether  top, middle or bottom. I used a resized image so that circle
occupies whole window, and I could then drag it around the screen.

Ah - found a Visa entry dated 15th April 2005, so looks like I'm
within the 3 years. Hopefully there's a receipt here somewhere. Visa
shows supplier as 'MCS', and I paid �117.45. (BTW, I'm sure I saw much
higher than prices when I googled yesterday?)
