I took the monitor into the dealer to show them the problem. When I first turned it on in the shop, it displayed the problem for about five minutes, then cleared up. They held onto the monitor for a week, and the problem never showed itself again at their shop. The loaner they gave me for the week worked fine at my house. When I brought my monitor back home, it started acting up again. Oh well. I've found that putting a fan on the monitor usually helps. --John Flanagan --johnf@sag4.ssl.berkeley.edu
