OT Dell widescreen TFT - this one looks faulty :-(

[Kevin Hawkins <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well it looks like this screen may be faulty which is a shame as its
fabulous !.  But could someone else who has one (on XP) check something
for me.

Could you display a standard desktop window of folders using the normal
blue Windows XP theme , filling the screen top to bottom.  Now the left
hand side of that window is a very gently changing shade of light blue
getting darker at the bottom of the window.  On my monitor in the area
between the 'Details' dropdown and the bottom of the window I am seeing
bright turquiose pixels appearing in the blue - hundreds of them - and
also a chequerboard pattern in the blue at the bottom  of maybe 50
pixels square across the whole width and half the height  of the blue.
Happens from two PC's at different screen resolutions and on the VGA and
DVI input.

Can anyone confirm theirs is just a nice smooth blue from top to bottom
please... - so I can tell the tech guy at the supplier he's talking
rubbish ;-)

Thanks - Kevin
