Well I have that monitor, great little gem it is, til a while ago that is, I have this problem where the top right hand side of the monitor kida bends down, kinda exactly like Dr. Evil's laze eye, if you have seen Austin Powers. It only happens at the higher resolutions (anything at or above 1280x1024, and I refuse to run this monitor at 1024x768) Everything lower shows up square and true. It is the monitor, I have it on a switch with other computers with other graphics cards, and they all do it, I have also tried taking the switch out, same thing, switching from BNC to DSUB, still there, any ideas, short of calling ViewSonic?

Every AG monitor has geometry errors of some kind. Every monitor seems to have a slightly different degree of the problem. Some people find the slightest error very annoying while others like me don't notice a bowing problem like you describe unless I look VERY closely.

Here's another thread that was started about this and there's some more info about it.
