Yep, screenshot is fine here, so it's something in your system (obviously :)

If your monitor has knobs or digital controls for adjusting the horizontal and vertical alignment etc., you might try altering those. Try to remember the original position though, and reset it if that doesn't help.

Also, as mentioned in another monitor issue today, try removing nearby sources of electrical interference, such as power adaptors, speakers, other power cables running near your monitor's display cable etc.

Also try different resolutions. You may not have to run the monitor at a different resolution to fix it, but if switching resolution helps, that can help to narrow down the issue.

aach. thanks for the answers, folks. I'm going away for a couple of weeks but will try the various options when I get back.

I did change the cables around recently -- not today though -- and will check on them when I get back to work.

hope it's not the (pretty!) monitor!
