Dell 2005 FPW acting up, RMA this puppy?

It is a revision A02, assembled in Mexico in November 2005. The pictures describe it better than I can, have a look.

This is what my Gamecube looks like normally for the first few mintues of using the monitor.

This is what it looks like a few minutes later.

Note this happens using s-video or composite connections.

Here's another example:

I'm seeing some problems even with VGA coming from the laptop. Some of the words on the screen look like they are vibrating almost and I had a ton of faint vertical purple lines going down the screen too that were not supposed to be there. Maybe its because I'm using VGA? The backlight is a bit brigther in some spots than others such as in the corners.

Its cool though that hitting the display switch button on the laptop cycles through all the options available of viewing through the two screens including PIP and PBP and automatically adjusts the resolution. I tried extending the desktop which is sweet also. The thing is so bright it almost lights up my whole room but the contrast is very nice.

Lol at the SNES.

But seriously, we need full sized pictures.

My bad it wasn't supposed to be that small. I'll fix it. I actually tried hooking up the monitor to my laptop which I'm doing right now. Its freaking sweet!

Thanks for the reply Ichigo but I've already decided to return this thing. They (random site I found on Pricegrabber) even offered to pay for the return shipping.

That's great. Good luck with the new one!
