Perhaps it was just a "bad batch" would probably save them money to
build up a big pile of faulty monitors in the .uk and ship them off to
China and have them fixed there given how cheap sea freight is and wages 
for a Chinese tech compared to paying a British tech wages.

FWIW, I bought a Iiyama vmpro454 19" crt a few years back at 60% of list
price from dabs "B-Grade" stock, I found the complaints forms from the
person they had sold it to prior to me in the bottom of the box. They 
had complained about "wavy lines when using excel" it took me about 10 
seconds to adjust the Moire and convergance settings to get a perfect 
picture. This used to be a common problem in a previous ork-place where 
we only gave people Iiyama monitors but the default settings were *so* 
bad that they made the monitors look awful, but 30 seconds spent 
adjusting the things would make them look absolutely perfect.
