LEMON ALERT!!!

Bought this guy from Futureshop 2 1/2 years ago and it died last night. $480 CDN!!! And they say they'll repair it...but I want a replacement! Apparently this NEC line is absolute crap - 9/10 of the reviews I read said people had similar problems. I wonder if Futureshop will exchange it... I hope so, anyone know if the Samsung Syncmasters are a quality line? Anyone have previous problems with these NEC's? I guess it just annoys me cause for that outrageous price it should last 10+ years like our old Daytek but to be having problems 2.5 years in... that's absurd and annoying.

Wow. This is... random.



A VDU right?

Illyama and Sony Trinitron are frequently top of the bill in reviews. If you can get them to swap it over for a LCD of the same value - certainly go for that.

Dude, at least FutureShop is repairing it, you're lucky

I don't know much about NEC. My friend has a 19" and it's been fine so far.

And do not compare to things made 10 years ago. As everyone says they don't make things like they used to.

BTW my monitor is a Sceptre. 3yrs and it's as bright as it was the day I took it out; I still set the brightness at 10% or less.
