Ray Sheppard,
I've got a similar problem to the one you described. After about two weeks of use my VP201B started making a very audible single "pop" noise about every five minutes. Sounds like it is coming from the bottom control panel. Did you ever get your issue resolved? Did you end...
Let me expound a bit. Barely visible "white" vertical streaks on the monitor screen when viewing a black background. Would also like opinions on back light bleeding.
I'm preparing to write another mini-review on this monitor. Before I do I'd like to know if anyone else using this monitor has notice barely visible vertical streaks in their screen when veiwing a completely black background?
