Hoping some of you might be able to help me out. I've had endless troubles with my stupid monitor, but I have been living with it. More recently though, it has developed darker bands down the screen vertically. Its only faint, but I can see them when I move the view around in a couple of games, and it is VERY annoying(not noticeable in ALL games). I can also see it if I just display a uniform looking screen, all one colour etc. So basically, the screen is not uniform in its brightness.
Returning the monitor is not an easy option, but I won't go into that cause its a long boring story.
Anyway, I am hoping some of you with TFT/LCD flat screen monitors, might be able to tell me if yours is perfect or similar? If I am asking too much from a flat screen monitor, then perhaps I'll feel happier to just put up with it.
Anyway, I made an example of it in photoshop. If you made my computer just display a green screen, and then took a digital camera photo of it.... this is what it would look like:

Please tell me if you think that is acceptable or not. Also, if you can compare it with your screen, that would be a huge help to me. You can download "Dead Pixel Buddy" from this link below, which is a very small and simple little tool that can make the screen show all one colour.

(download link is at the bottom left above the paypal logo - its free and tiny).
The default colours in there are too bright to see the bands really, but if you can click the little dots next to the "Custom" option, and then "Define Custom Colours", you can just pick a colour from the pallette, and that can REALLY show if you screen is uniform or not. I find dark(ish) blues and greens easier to spot it.
Thanks in advance!
