I got a brand new, you beaut computer but the monitor has a distorted image. I contacted LG and the word is that I can have a flat screen and distorted (concave) picture or a curved screen and flat picture but I can't have flat screen/flat picture due to the technology despite advertising which says I can. [confused] I have a chance to exchange it but it must be soon. Any comments or suggestions??

I would add a few dollars and buy an LCD screen.

Me too I have a Flatron, and it is more a question of getting used to it. because, if you take a sheet of paper or a ruler, the image (on my monitor) does have straight lines, although in the beginning they appear to be concabe (or convex, always mix these up).
Yet, if you're not happy, go to the store where you bought it and ask for an exchange. Like Gauss said: do try an LCD one if the money's no obstacle. Better for the eyes.
On the other hand: before buying, you should be allowed to see what the monitor does look like. Take a diskette with you (can be inserted in nearly all comps) and ask to see the monitor in a more neutral light than a shop's neons.
Just an idea...

Thanks guys
Unfortunately I over extended myself money wise and there are no extra dollars. If I put a rule against lines they curve down from top and up from bottom. It is getting to the stage where it will be too late to return it. It is probably easier to put up with it - my family have no problems with it and I am no longer in graphics business. I'll give my supplier another call :{

If you're not satisfied, you should return it to the store where you bought it. Yet: did you try out the settings? Flatron uses OSD, and has buttons for the shape of what you see, including convex/concave. Also, I don't know where you live, but I have a three year guarantee on site. And they are very friendly over here.

The monitor has several advantages as you don't have those irritating wires, and it also has a very good contrast. It's only negative point I ever came up with is its sensitivity to a bit of moir? (interference patterns), but at times the image just implodes and then rebuilds. That is due to getting rid of Gauss. (err... ;\ ). Degaussing means demagnetising.

Yet always try to be a diffcult customer: money is energy, and you invest part of your life in something. You always and under all circumstances merit the very best your money can buy. The salesman wants your money/energy, and will evt try out his legion of tricks on you. Just keep your one goal before your mental eye: how can I invest my money so my life's quality becomes better?

Good luck!
