Have you placed anything magnetic close to your monitor like speakers lately? That can cause distortion. Otherwise, it sounds like your monitor may be at fault. Can you try it with another computer?

well, that could be the problem but it seems as if there is a setting that allows you do do it because when i click on the button for the screen to move downwards it curves further in :(

Have you tried the Dell support (http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/product_support/en/monitors?c=us&l=en&s=gen) website.. are you in USA or somewhere else???
They have a support monitor page and troubleshooting tool

This sounds like a setting on the monitor to me. There used to be a way to get it to do that on an HP monitor I had. Is this a CRT monitor? I will see if I can find what the setting was.


I just checked a Dell CRT I have here in the office and there is a Change Side Angle option there. The effect from it was something similiar to what I had experienced on the HP. You should find something like that in the setting on the actual monitor.
