I've replaced my NEC under warranty once, as well. Tom Baker Martin Wesley <mwesley250@...> wrote: I have had very good luck in the past with Viewsonic, NEC, Mitsubishi and Sony monitors. It is a real shame Sony is apparently abandoning CRT displays except for the very high end. A word of caution on NEC, however. I replaced my aging Sony in August with a 19" MultiSync FP912SB NEC monitor and I was very pleased with the image quality. Cost was under $300. Unfortunately in late January it failed with the image geometry becoming distorted and the lower left corner flickering. I did an exchange with NEC/Mitsubishi support and they were very prompt but I had to pay shipping one way since I was out of the 90 day warranty. The replacement they sent was defective and I did another exchange (they paid all the shipping) but that had defective power management. I am now looking at my third refurb from NEC/Mitsubishi and it has failed exactly the same way as the original monitor. Maybe this was just a bad model but receiving 3 bad replacements has cooled my brand loyalty to NEC. I am not sure I want to go one more round of a refurb from them. I may just bite the bullet and buy a new Viewsonic 19" Graphics model G90f for under $300.
