The 2nd was left dead and simply replaced. :) Yeah, the MX17-F or something (it's too freakin hard to look under the monitor to see what the actualy model # is...) - the one with the little LCD on the bottom left. I would guess your 3 year lifespan is right on, since mine is 3.5 and it was almost exactly 6 months ago that mine started loosing it... the ghosting has gotten worse and worse to the point that it drives me absolutely insane. With the jitters it's recently developed, I'll probably go mad if I keep using it... I'm going to check and see if this is something that can be fixed for cheap, otherwise I'll be looking for a new monitor - what's recomended these days? Man this sucks... I was really looking forward to saving that $1000 for tuition next semester..... :-( Ah well, at this point in "the loan game" another $1K doesn't really matter. -Mark > > Jordan -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com RingZero Comp. http://vinyl.quickweb.com/mark finger mark@quickweb.com for my PGP key and GCS code ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The newest book, The Dilbert Future, took a broader view, describing how idiots will threaten every aspect of business, technology and society in the future." --Scott Adams
