Does anyone see vertical lines on PF790?

I know the PF790 has the horizontal wires visible but all of the sudden I see two ~2.5 inches from the left side... I see two wires that are about a cm apart.

That certainly is not "normal" I think it is dying:(

Here's a nice story though about Viewsonic monitors:

My bud bought a new one (P815) about 3 years ago, last week it started to die. He called Viewsonic and they told him it was under warranty. He rejoiced!! We brought it to Viewsonic tech support here in Canada (not far from my house) and they took it to be examined.

This week, he is told that it is not repairable. He picked up his brand new 22" P225F yesterday. He rejoiced once again!! In other words, major major upgrade for nothing:Q

I hope yours is still under warranty;)

G/L,

Ack! So this would be something I deal with Viewsonic about, not the store that I purchased the monitor from? I think mine is around 2.5 years old right now.

It's weird! The two horizontal lines never bother me, but these vertical ones are driving me batty :)

Yup, definately Viewsonic and not the store, unless you bought an extended warranty from them (who buys those anyways?)

sweet! I have a Viewsonic G790 that is still running like a dream, and it's over 5 years old with heavy daily usage. No more warranty from them since it's over 3, but it's been so good, it's almost worth what I paid for it (heh, I got it right when the 19" monitors came out).
