My partner had one for about 3 years also, then sold it to someone I know. About two months later, I get a call from the guy we sold it to. The monitor decided to not turn on one day, and all it did was blink its lights on the front of it, and make a weird 'clicking' noise, kinda like the ticking of a clock. We sent it to MAG, and they fixed it, and all was happy. THen two weeks later, I get a call from the guy again. It happened again, and needless to say, he was quite perturbed. We called MAG and after quite a bit of complaining, got them to fix it again. We had to buy him a new one, and we kept the one that came back. Ever since then, the resolution has been awful and fuzzy and just never looked the same. The one we sent back was a DX-15F. Then another friend owned a DX-17F, and that one fried also. Had to send that one back, but haven't heard anything lately. Have to say I will probably never buy another one after their recent track record. We got Viewsonic's as replacements, and I must say they are the nicest monitors I have worked on so far. I have the Optiquest V775 17", and my partner got the PT810 21". Beautiful resolution, and i can do 1280X1024 no problem, he is in 1600X1280. Just my $.02 ;) ______________________________________________________________ -Gary Margiotta Voice: (973) 835-9696 TBE Internet Services Fax: (973) 256-4605 http://www.tbe.net E-Mail: gary@tbe.net
