I made the mistake of buying two A1950's before I had ever used one for an
extended period. Both monitors waver horizontally very slightly - just enough
to give the user headaches and nausea. No amount of horizontal hold tweaking
helps. These monitors suck.

My advice (to the buyer) look elsewhere for a better quality monitor.
My advice (to CBM engineering) stop going for the lowest price exclusively
all the time. Especially for the A3000, the A1950 makes the computer look bad
and has made me ill.
