    Envision monitors can range from poor to REALLY outstanding

    be sure and take it back for another if you get a bad one. If you get one of the good ones the colors out of the box will look REALLY good and very little alignment will be required. I dont know why. One of my closest friends has a good one and it is among the BEST monitors I have ever seen and I sat one up for an older couple and I after an hour I had it looking tolerable so I suppose it is the luck of the draw. I also think that it is a .26 dot pitch but I am not sure. It can only be .25 (sony) or .26 (Hatachi I think)
