Hi, Something 'wonderful' has started happening with my 1950 monitor on an A3000. Occasionally, the whole screen image jumps. It usually moves 1/8 - 1/4 inch vertically then returns to the orig. position. It does this several times quickly, then settles back to a steady display for an arbitrary amount of time. I've tried adjusting both the monitor and the A3000 display enhancer, with no positive results. Does anyone know what causes this, and more importantly, how to make it go away. (This is NOT the pixel jitter on the top scan line - the WHOLE screen moves). PLEASE tell me that the monitor isn't discharging internally. (Email as my time is limited these days - I don't read news much anymore) Thanks John -- jgh1@unix.cis.pitt.edu Who Me? I didn't say anything.

I didn't say anything. Yes, you have a defective 1950 monitor. Take it back to the dealer you got you system/monitor from and get it exchanged. Some of the first couple thousand monitors had a vertical jitter problem which was later fixed. The offical policy on this is to get it exchanged at you dealer. I would see what the serial number on the back of the monitor is and only exchange it for a monitor with at least a couple hundred larger serial number on it.
