I hope you will get the replacement from the manufacturer soon. Will you get it for free or do you need to buy a new one?
I can understand you - it's extremely frustrating.
About one year ago my high-tech iiyama 22" CRT monitor broke down.
As you can see now - I managed to survive using an old 17" one until the replacement arrived.  |

Yes I heard about that, sad accident that should not have happened. However that has nothing to do with placing a faulty monitor next to a target and accidentally putting x30 9mm rounds into it. Pack the monitor up in its box and send back to the manufacturer asking for refund because the monitor it is not working.
That story also continues to reinforce the fact that guns dont kill people. People kill people. See car accident deaths, smoking related deaths, overweight fat people etc... If people are not killing themselves, they are killing someone else. |

I don't like wide monitors.
I just use a few years old 19" 4:3 Viewsonic monitor. |

Ever since i got a 24inch widescreen , i could never go back to those little 4:3 screens. Game play is just awsome on a widescreen as well as those nice hi def movies or videos.

Tis a 225BW, they will send me a replacement for free, but charge me $300 till I send the old one back.
Offending monitor can be seen in the background.
Amost exactly 2 years old

I like how i see the keyboard on youre desk top and the keyboard sliding tray is filled with chips. Of course the hardware in hand is fun to look at too

| Backlight invertors are fairly easy to replace.... Did you think about that? |

I don't think it's a good idea.
