That's not good -- How's the local pricing on 16:10 21" monitors ?? would you be able to quickly sell it to someone if advertised in the local craigslist and make a profit ? (only ask because it might be easier than shipping it back) and since you are in HI, it might sell quick for a profit seeing how hard it is to get things shipped there at a decent price. Then could try again !  :dunno

TorgoHiggins:
Honestly I got the thing hooked up to my main pc now and I just might keep it. The price was so good and it's actually a tidy upgrade from my current main monitor. Besides, after putting it through its paces, the dark spot isn't even noticeable against a splash of color and movement (say, while playing a game.) :)

So, I dunno. I can definitely roll this into a positive either way. Just kind a bummer.

Slippyblade:
I may have missed it but is this new monitor an LCD or a CRT?  If it's a CRT the dark spot might just be a degaussing issue and an easy fix.  If it's LCD then it might be the backlight going south which isn't good.

TorgoHiggins:
LCD. It looks more like a slightly discolored smudge on the monitor then anything. So I dunno.

Someone probably stuck their finger in that spot just a little too hard.  Mine has a similar issue, but I bought from State Surplus for $15.00.  Not noticeable during play.
