I had MAG 17 inch monitor that died on me one day while still under warrantee. For a fee the company upgraded me to brand new one. The new is MAG DJ700 17 inch. No problems since spring 1998. However, I had before a CTX, ADI and others, all of which just died one day. Is it my bad luck? Others would swear by those brands . . . I think no monitor is 100% guaranteed to work for eternity. Did you look into SONY? Good luck, Reuven Freuman PCBUILD's List Owner's: Bob Wright<[log in to unmask]> Drew Dunn<[log in to unmask]>
