re perfect mag mx f monitors in article apr brtph bnr ca adcock bnr ca doug adcock writes i ve been intently following the mag thread while waiting for mine to arrive in the mail there seems to be a lot of complaints about minor alignment problems with the mx f one article contained a comment that the owner called the factory and was told that his screen rotation was within spec that figure for image rotation would seem to be a little high on my nec fg the specs call for no greater than mm well my monitor arrived last night and sure enough it has a very noticable barrel distortion it s not dramatic but it is there and it is especially noticable when the image doesn t fill the entire screen the fact that it is worse on the right side doesn t help matters what i m trying to find out is if these minor imperfections are the norm or are most of their monitors perfect i don t want to send it back and get one with the same or an even worse problem does the factory consider this kind of thing normal and ship their monitors with less than perfect alignment i can t speak for mag innovision but as far as nec is concerned they are adjusted to factory spec before leaving the central usa distribution point ma for the eastern canadian market now here s the key nec knows that the monitors adjustments are very sensitive to shipping over distances with all the bumps rough handling and such and therefore expect and at least in theory require that the local distributor not dealer have it adjusted at the local service centre bull hn information systems in toronto before sale this is the correct and probably only way of having any chance of receiving a perfect monitor the definition of perfect seems to depend on how picky one is in my case quite are other netters just living with these kind of imperfections i for one was not willing to accept what i considered a substandard monitor and after two months of wrangling and direct contact with nec finally received a satisfactorily adjusted monitor not perfect imho but a major improvement over what the dealer and distributor were trying convince me was normal the short answer is no don t accept these imperfections as normal because for the premium one pays for the larger screen monitors one has a right to expect higher quality and if you re persistent you ll receive it comments and opinions are mine not bnr s doug adcock adcock bnr ca bell northern research research triangle park nc regards paul yee yee nimios eng mcmaster ca
