Thanks for the offer, but it's set to what I want for now.
No way did I go for a PC Company monitor for the new system, I had that
bugger kicked off the list of options. A standard ONE year warranty from an
outfit that had a cheap bulk supply of the buggers just wasn't good enough
while other retailers were offering new monitors with a good 3 year warranty
as standard. The 1 year warranty showed that the PC Company weren't willing
to match other retailers by giving a 3 year warranty for their monitors, the
standard 1 year on the PC itself was fair enough.
I got my monitor cheap at the time from Cash Converters several months
before getting the new PC. They must've paid bugger all for it, it was in
good condition, better than some that they wanted the same price or more
for. Only after getting it did I notice that it was made in 2001.
The button must have weak contacts even at the best of times right from when
it was new on these models. I'll avoid any other monitors with similar
adjustment in the future.
