| 1403191 | 2015-06-19 23:10:00 | It's been a while since I bought a monitor - last one was a 21" Viewsonic CRT. Which brand would you folks recommend these days? I'm after an approx 21", something budget but with at least an HDMI port, for my desktop. [Edit] Nevermind... I found a Samsung model within my specifications and price range. Thanks anyway. |

| 1403195 | 2015-06-20 01:15:00 | Welllllllllll I've sold lots of Viewsonics over the last 13 years, (Dont know how many off hand, easily over 200) only had to replace 3 from failures ( from memory) , mostly dead or bright/Stuck pixels. My own Viewsonics at the moment are going on 8 years old and all perfectly fine. Including the 32" TV, which developed a stuck pixel after 5 years, but you have to know where it is and be right up against the screen and looking for it to find it, take 1 step back and you cant see it. |

| 1403198 | 2015-06-20 21:44:00 | I'm running a Phillips of at least 9 years of age and a Dell of unknown age (I got it off trademe), Wife is running a Samsung which is about the same age as the Phillips and I have a Viewsonic as a spare I picked p for $2 which has an issue of not always turning on necessitating a reboot off the computer and wiggling the VGA cable to get it to turn on. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1403199 | 2015-06-21 00:48:00 | I bought an Acer 5 years ago, against thinking on here, but couldn't wish for better I was hoping it would fail so that I could get a nice 28" screen. |
