I just got in the Soyo 24" monitor that's on sale at OM for $300. Nothing immediate looks wrong with it, but I'm confused on one thing.
In XP, my mouse pointer has a small drop shadow.
On my Dell 2001FP monitor, the drop shadow is grey.
On the Soyo, the drop shadow is red....
EDIT: it actually depends on the background. If the pointer is over a white background, the drop shadow is red. When it is over a colored background like grey, the drop shadow is grey.
If the pointer is half over a white background and half over a colored background, the half over the white background has a red drop shadow and the half over the colored background has a grey drop shadow.

EDIT: Now it's gone after fiddling with the OSD. Man this thing is kinda weird. There are two brightness settings. One for the backlight and a second for something else.
