Hi Bill,
Do yourself a *big* favour and recycle this monitor! They are the pits
and will cost you more money than buying a decent 17" PC display with a
12 month or 3 year warranty.
Where do you /get/ a decent 17"? The good manufacturers seem to have
stopped making their good quality tubes, and only seem to make the
'office' variants now. *icky*.
I think you can still get things like the Philips 109P though (I have
one, and it's a fairly nice 19" monitor) but haven't seen many nice 17"
monitors lately. Then again, I hear a Mitsubishi 2060U (22") is only
about $1200 now. Ideally you'd want something like a Sony G520 (21") but
they're ... a little pricey.
Naturally, this is all just opinion. Perhaps there's somewhere selling
decent 17" monitors that's keeping quiet about it.
The sooner this attempt for a display
disappears, the better the world will be!
Wow. Sounds like you've used them then ;-)
It's unfortunate how many monitors those words can be applied to, though.
