I have a subwoofer but it's sitting on the floor, so I really don't think it's close enough to cause any problems. I suppose when I get back to school I could try moving it. Speakers are near it, but they've always been and never caused this trouble before.

FedEx dropped my SGI GDM-90W11 (24" CRT that weighs about 70 pounds) and it rotated clockwise very slowly thereafter. I am guessing your monitor might have suffered similar mishandling.

It is VERY important to handle a monitor very carefully and smoothly. It may be heavy, but it's still relatively fragile.
When I moved, I made sure to take very good care of it. Sure, there was a slightly bumpy ride, but I certainly didn't drop it or bang it anywhere.

It's a thought thouugh.

Thanks for all the ideas, this gives me some stuff to look into when I get back to school tonight.

Re: the 3 year warrenty, I'm not so sure that I still have the receipt for the monitor unfortunately Think there's any way they would still honor it?
