I've just got a 20" Viewsonic VP2000s but there's a major screening
effect going on. It looks like the border between pixels is way
thicker in proportion to the pixel size itself, which gives the image
a pixelated retro look. I'd never seen this on 17" or 18" LCDs. Is it
normal for 20" or is it because this brand/model is bottom of the line
for 20"? What about Samsung 204T? TIA.

Best get the obvious questions out of the way ;o) Are you running it at its
native resolution?

Of course.

FWIW, I'm looking at the screen with a loupe now and it looks like the
vertical spacing between pixels is about 1/3 of the height of the
pixel itself. Horizontal gaps are smaller.

Answer Bill's question: are you running the monitor at it's default
resolution?

Of course.

Selbstverständlich.

Por supuesto.

Naturellement.

Naturalmente.

Oh, you asked for the "default" resolution, not "native". D'oh! (And
yes, convergence (!?) is fine too, I suppose).

Responses have been, umm, interesting, so far <g>
