Wish you would have asked about the brand before getting it... My little incident with NEC and ProView, sounded similiar to yours... only their returned monitors, fit in really small boxes
I have since changed to 3 other brands that I am very pleased with. KDS, MAG and ViewSonic. Of course I dont have the fancy 21" ones, only 17 inches as there are already to many monitors and keyboards on one desk here I have had one problem with a KDS monitor. bout 2 years ago I bought it online. It arrived I plugged it in and "zzzzzzzzt" smoke out the top I pulled the plug let her kewl. This had happened before to me moisture on something sometimes its alright the second plug in. it worked, with a line flowing vertically in a lighting pattern down the screen KDS techs were talking to me in like 2-3 minutes, was with the rma folks in like 5 minutes and had the guarantee of a new monitor the very next day. Drop their old one in the box, call ups for pickup, at KDS cost and be done with it. Now thats service.
