- A lot of problems with large (>14 inch) monitors is due to external magnetic
- fields... The easiest way to test/fix them is to turn them on, wait a few
- minutes, turn them off, wait a few minutes, etc... This allows the degaussing
- magnets to "adjust" the screen to the external magnetic fields...

- If this doesn't fix the problem it should be aligned where it is being
- operated to cancel out any residual magnetics (the earth's field is the worst)
- This should fix a good monitor, and make a bad one tolerable...

- NEC no longer makes the 4D or 4DS line. You can however buy one of the last
- units either new or remanufactured... It is a nice monitor, I use one at
- work and at home...
