Hi Martin.

Point taken, I should have qualified what I said by declaring that all of my 
flat screen experience has been with the cheap end of the market. My old 
monitor was an Iiyama pro. The LCD's at work and with my new PC are bottom 
of the range Dells.  I have something better on my wish list :-)
