Golan,

I think the 9.2" monitor I purchased from you is the one you described below. I 
had a chance to test out the monitor and indeed the quality is not that great. 
Infact its worse than my original unit, leading me to conclude your unit (well, 
mine now...) was/is faulty. My original unit gives a much nicer picture. I'm 
not sure if there is anything that can be done to fix it. Anyway, not 
complaining as I will be able to use the unit somewhere.

Steve
