Last week I finally got the 22" monitor I've been wanting for years. It's an NEC-Mitsubishi Diamondtron 2070SB, and when I first fired the computer up I was extremely impressed with the sharpness and brightness of the screen. However, after playing with it for a while I've noticed a couple of imperfections which really bug me, and I'm not sure whether I have a faulty monitor or whether they're faults which are common to all monitors of this model.

At the very top of the picture, there's a strip about half an inch deep which is slightly overly-stretched vertically. None of the vertical distortion controls affect that area of the screen, and when a window is maximised it's really noticeable. It's not a matter of the picture distorting because it's too close to the edge of the screen either, as resizing the picture vertically doesn't have any effect on the problem.

Similarly, there's a strip about an inch wide down the right hand side of the screen which is squashed slightly horizontally. There are no controls for horizontal distortion on the monitor, so I can't even try to fix that. Again, when a window is maximised this is quite noticeable as the titlebar buttons are narrower than they are when a window is toward the center of the screen.

Does anyone else have this monitor and can confirm that this isn't a usual problem? I'm not looking forward to the prospect of trying to get a replacement...
