Radius.Engineers and/or others with experience with Radius
Pivot Display:

Reviews have raved about the Radius Pivot display, but they
have also mentioned that the displays show a slight distortion near
the edges.  I examined one of these displays at ComputerWare in
Palo Alto, and it seemed fine:  no bothering distortion to
speak of, beautiful resolution, etc.

So I bought one.  Upon powering it up, I saw bad distortion in
the upper left hand corner of the display, about 1/4 inch in from
both the top and left side.  "Bad distortion" means that windows
were bent when they were dragged into this corner. (The display was
in portrait mode i.e. vertical).  So I took it back to my dealer,
who gave me a new one from Radius after about a week. 

Same problem, although not quite as bad.  Same place.  Windows
still bend when they are dragged up into this corner.

Am I alone here?  Do ALL Pivot's display this problem?  Was I seeing
things on the demo model in the computer store?  Radius has been
very helpful on the phone, but if the next ten monitors that I 
receive and return have this problem...

Thanks in advance for time and advice.
