I purchased a 42" plasma monitor from Dell Canada in May 2004. (This Monitor was manufactured by Viewsonic) My wife and I watched a few movies on the monitor before I was able to hook the unit up to my computer. Movie quality was good, however when I hooked the monitor up to my computer I am unable to read the text of any spreadsheets, word documents, or web pages on the internet. The problem is with the size of the pixels. I have tried all the different settings on the monitor, as well as the DVI input and it is all the same (very poor).
I contacted Dell in early August 2004 and was refered to their techincal department. I went through 4 different people until I was finally told I had to contact Viewsonic as they are the original manufacturer. I contacted Viewsonic and I got passed around through another 5 people there until I was told I had to contact Dell as they were the people who sold me the monitor. I then called Dell back and told them I wanted to return this monitor and I was finally told thet they would not be able to help me, original E-mail attached.
