so i've had a nightmare getting a 22" LCD that works right. i'm seriously on #5....i keep getting dead pixels and exchanging them for that or horrid backlight bleed. i finally got an A panel 226BW with virtually no backlight bleed and no dead pixels at all. its really a nice monitor.

anyways, here's the strange problem: after a while the image will move slightly to the lower right corner. the whole image. its only less than a millimeter but every now and then you can see it jump back to the correct position. looks like a split second blur. it'll also jump back if i press any of the menu buttons.

i'm at the point now where i'm sick of returning these and getting a crap C panel with dead pixels. i also can't return it for no good reason either, that return window is passed. so just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what i can do here. its really just a minor annoyance.

i've tried changing the refresh rate with no luck.
 
Are you using VGA? Tried DVI? I would think that this behavior qualifies as a good reason for a return.
 
i'm using the DVI yes. i'd agree that its good reason for a return but here's the trouble - i got it at future shop which allows 15 days for returns no questions asked. after that you might get a replacement ok, but 1 dead pixel will not get you an exchange nor will getting a crap C panel. so i'm likely to get the shaft here at some point.
 
The A panel has HORRIBLE blacklight bleed. I have an A panel. It started off pretty well with minimal lightbleed, then over the course of a couple weeks, it got horrible with a huge triangle bleed on the left side like the BeHardware review shows plus bleed on the top and bottom borders a bit.

However, I am not experiencing any of your image shifting problems. Sometimes, I get the image offscreen a bit on VGA, but that's expected and that's what the "auto" button is for. DVI is perfect.
 
hm go figure that one. the backlight bleed is nothing on this monitor, its near perfect in that respect and hasn't changed at all. thats why i kinda want to keep it despite the annoyance

i've had all 3 panels now and i found that the C panel was the real crapper especially for bleed.
