- I'm using one of the new 17" monitors with an old ND and cube setup. The image
- starts approximately 8 mm from the bezel on the right and 13 mm from the bezel
- on the left. It is not at all distracting, and in fact I hadn't noticed it
- until the subject came up on this thread. (5 mm is slightly more than 3/16")
-
- My flickering--really more the image shaking--problem still recurs occasionally
- (it was quite bad earlier today, but barely noticeable now). From my
- experimenting, it appears to have nothing to do with the position or
- orientation of the monitor, nor with its proximity to my MegaPixel mono or
- cube. It seems to be related to the building power in some way. The main feed
- for the building runs right under my floor--this has been suggested as a cause,
- though there really shouldn't be unbalanced magnetic fields with an AC feed. I
- also plan to put a line conditioner in as soon as possible and see if that
- cleans up the problem....
