Maybe it is, but me being me, I won't find out until it's dead & I'm forced to fix it :thumbs: 		Phil B (648)
1176035 2011-02-08 20:28:00 Had a capacitor blow in a crt monitor once filled the room up with blue smoke. Luckily no other damaged was done to the monitor and got the capacitor replaced.

1176037 2011-02-08 21:00:00 Just received the monitor on loan to me (from Monitor Tech) and have packed my faulty unit, waiting for the prepaid courier to pick it up. Their after sales service is really good:thumbs:. Just have to wait and see how soon can they return it to me.

Apparently, it seems that Viewsonic LCD's failure rate seems to be high. 		bk T (215)
1176038 2011-02-08 21:22:00 My Viewsonic VX2233WM LCD monitor which I have had for just over 2 years has given me no problems. On for 5 or 6 hours a day.

Got back my monitor yesterday afternoon, plugged in all the cables, turned on my computer, everything looks fine; but only for a short while - the brightness is certainly not as good as before and it's not stable. When I open a Window, it turns bright and dims after a second or two. Thought maybe the settings, so pressed the setting buttons but only to find that they are not responsible as before. I got to press hard and sometimes hold it for a while to more the selections up and down. Really, I'm now NOT HAPPY AT ALL!:groan:

Rang them in Christchurch, spoke to the tech but he seems to be not very helpful this time. Anyway, he will do find out more and phone me back this afternoon.

Do you guys reckon I should demand for a replacement rather than send it back for repair again? 		bk T (215)

I most certainly do!..2 mths and you have already sent it back, time for a replacement or new model! 		SolMiester (139)
1176041 2011-02-17 00:07:00 Do I have a ground to mention the consumer guarantees act for a replacement? bk T (215)
1176042 2011-02-17 00:11:00 The original problem may have been fixed and tested Ok, but they may not have picked up this fault.

If its a couple of months old they have the option to repair or replace.



Apparently, it seems that Viewsonic LCD's failure rate seems to be high Dont know whos saying that -- I have been selling Viewsonics for close to 10 years - sold more than I care to count, only ever had 2 actually fail in that time, and one was out of its 3 year warranty by a month, yet Viewsonic still replaced it with the latest model anyway.

Usually any problems are only a dead or bright pixel, which once again would be a replacement LCD anytime within 3 years of purchase. 		wainuitech (129)
1176043 2011-02-17 00:17:00 turn off dynamic contrast.
It's probably been turned on.
It looks terrible. 		8ftmetalhaed (14526)
