G'day Mates... I have read many Threads relating to LCD & TFT Monitors in the past, and offer this view and some buying Tips. I am not a Tech Person, but, I am a good Shopper! Nor am I disputing which is best , the big bulky Monitor or the Slim Slender one...sigh... for Me....the Eye problems and Headaches stopped, once I Purchased My first TFT Flat Screen Monitor, and I preferred looking at this Monitor....more than any I had previously seen(the Big Monitors...Fatty) It is now common place that a reasonably Priced Computer, will come Packaged with a 19'' Flat Screen. Some People of course are buying these Flat Monitors as a Single Unit.....and now, I offer a Purchase Tip. There appears to be a different Standard, depending on the Company that makes the Monitor, as to how many Pixels in the Screen must be "blown", before the Warranty kicks in, and You can say....."I have a fault....can You fix it under the Guarantee?" But...Your Brand New Monitor....which burned out ...say 4 Pixels in 4 Months......You have to wait until You burn out 7 of these Pixels before the Guarantee sets in....yep.....this is a small Print matter....different Brands have different strokes for different Folks. It is important to ascertain, when Purchasing, what is the "Blown Pixel Level" of the Monitor, before it is covered by Warranty? Once a couple of Pixels do go....and You work and look at dark Images....that Red Glow....can sure look an Eye Sore. So there....Food for thought...and, it cost You nothing....and You did not have to physically threaten Staff of a Store like I did, to get My Monitor replaced....because it blew 4 Pixies in 6 Weeks.....and.....the Small Print said....7 was the Minimum....for Conditions of...Guarantee. Have a cracker Day :]
