I just recently purchased a Sony CPD-E540 21 inch monitor.
There is some sort of distortion on my screen. It looks to be lines, although you can't tell until it distorts something. It kind of reminds me of the way the air looks above a grill, except linear.

I run my desktop reso at 1600x1200 @ 85hz (and I have tried 75hz, and still I get the distortion.)
I've moved my computer away from the monitor, to see if the PSU was causing it. I've tried moving outlets. I am at a friends house right now, and it's still doing it.

Anyone know what I can do? or if I have to just grin and bear it?

Sounds to me like a bad monitor. I would replace it. Magnets do funny things to monitors, and this may have been exposed to one for a while, i dont know, just a guess. How long have you had it? Sony's warranty is usually 90 days, so id send it back to them
