I have a proton monitor from several years ago, a 619S, as I recall.  

I'm looking to buy a new monitor, but nobody local has a proton, and I have one
gripe about the proton that will keep me from getting another one if it still
has the same 'mis-feature'.  (Did that make sense??? :-)).

My proton seems to be hyper-sensitive to every one of my remotes.  Pressing
almost any button on any of the remotes causes the proton to power-off,
or change channel, or mute, or any one of a number of annoying things.  So
now I have to carefully "aim" my remotes to avoid the proton.

Does this still exist?  I've tried all of my remotes with other brands
of stuff (RCA, Toshiba), and they seem to not be affected...
