Rating: Summary: Good 3 Years and she started fussin' Review: This monitor was a good price back in 2000 when I bought it and served me well up until about a year ago.
Last year (2003) at the age of 3 years, this monitor fried my processor due to my heavy graphics use, causing some sort of electrical mayhem, a very slight burning smell & the display flinching/ruffling leading up to it. At the time everyone was sure it had been my video card. I'm here, a year later to surprisingly come to the conclusion, it was the monitor. It didn't quite happen again (no fried CPUs this time) but recently the same smell, coupled with flinching/ruffling came back when put under heavy graphics use again (which I haven't done since last year) & this time I easily traced it back to the monitor. It had been the culprit a year ago. I'm pretty sure it's done with its warranty at this point but it was good while it lasted. I guess $150 bucks for 4 years wasn't bad which is why i'm giving it a 3 star rating.
But keep an eye out for funky-ness around the 3-4 year mark--and the ever-so-slight burning plastic smell, especially under heavy graphic use.
