[comp.sys.next] MEGAPIXEL PROBLEM

Help from out there  ?

	I have a new next station, monochrome which ahs the following  
	problem:

	right of the center  of the screen there  is a vertical
	absolutely vertical line, that is not a gray shade. it can
	be easily seen if the next is run at low intensity(not too low)
	and if the lights in three room are closed.

	I have no idea about screens, or how they work. but I have
	noticed that this line moves as a beam of electrons when
	i move a window close to them, or if in general 
	something moves on the screen. to be moree specific :
	suppose a window is to the left of this line and i move it
	to the right. Then the line starts vibrating and sometimes
	you can see it being deflected as if a magnet was brought next
	to a beam of electrons. 


	of course it must be a beam of electrons? but why is it vertical
	and why is it moving whan something is moving close by. if 
	you leave a window open on the line the line resumes its
	original vertical position.         

	morever, i must say that the region next to the line(left
	and right) seems to be a little whiter than usual. i think it is
	becuase of small vibrations of this bug line.

	can it be created by something in my room. I don't think
	so, since it is quite vertical. 

	Any comments will be appreciated. 
	Please post your reply, since I do not have my
	own account. Thanks.

take the monitor back to where ever you bought it and have it repaired
under warranty.
