Anyone here have or had an NEC monitor that failed or broke well before it was out of warranty?
I purchased an 21" NEC P1250+ monitor last March. After about 6 months of use (last October) it just died. I tried to power it on, and there was nothing, no power at all. So, NEC gave me an RMA and i had to pay the US$70 (and this was UPS Ground, because this beast weighs nearly 90lbs with packing materials) to ship it to their RMA center. About a week later, I received a refurbed replacement. A month later, in late November, the replacement started to misbehave. The picture was all washed out, and white lines randomly appeared & disappeared on the screen. So, I got another RMA from NEC, and spent anohter US$70 to ship it back for replacement. So, today, i'm on the 3rd monitor, and out of no where today, the monitor deGaussed itself. That was a few hours ago, but now every so often, the picture just kind of rotates about 2 degrees for no apparent reason. I will state right away that i'm only using Linux, and when I configured X for the monitor, i specified the exact range of Horz & Vert frequencies that were in the user's guide for the monitor. So i definitely didn't cause this chain of events. ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
