I think I purchased this in 2012, exactly 3 years ago... The monitor was nearing 10,000 hours, when I reported the issue. I just leave it on all the time, might rethink that in the future. The tech guy checked with his "manager", who wouldn't budge. So now they get some not so positive press, which is what they deserve, IMO. Same with every other company that doesn't treat the large format forum members right...Originally Posted by Taija71A
The LCD panel is the part that is only covered for 3 years, or 10,000 hours. That's 417 days, or 1.1 years, if you leave it on all the time.
At this point, it's past the hours mark, so there's nothing I can do... I appreciate everyone's effort to try and help.
I wish Apple would get their act together and put out a monitor like the one for the iMac 27inch that is standalone... I know there's issues with the graphics cards required to drive it, but even if it wasn't 5K, but had a halfway decent color space, that would suffice...
For those of you who scan with me, if I miss a spot in the upper center, I apologize.
I think that most computers have about a 3 year life, now its monitors, too. I guess I should just get over it...
