Dunno, man. But mine, Hair’s and my boss’s monitors were all the same model 19” Viewsonic, and they all failed. Maybe they got a bad batch of something.
But we got a 19” CRT freebie from someone on Craigslist that will work fine for the interim.
I am uber-happy with my new Acer 22” widescreen, though.
Huh. Interesting data point. It’s not like Viewsonic is the cheapo-brand in the market, exactly. But yah, sounds like they had a quality-control-fart of some sort.
Most of ours are branded by Dell. I have no idea who really makes them. If I had to guess I would’ve guessed Viewsonic. Their form factors seem to be the same.
We also buy a bunch of Samsung units. I don’t know but I wouldn’t be suprised if they made many of the other co-branded displays on the market.
We just got one of those for me this week! It's HUGH! I got the widescreen version so that I could see the side by side windows in my architectural CAD program more easily. Regular stuff looks a little interesting, so stretched out, and all.
