After working for 3 years, my monitor decided to quit its job. It notified me yesterday by suddenly went "boop" and turned into BSOD (thats black screen of dead for you) while I was working in front of my computer. It did scare the sh!t out of me. It is a Sony 200sx and since it is a Sony I do expect it last much longer than that. My friend lent my her spare mon and save my day. Grrr WTF:|

Don't think of this as a loss, but as an opportunity to look to better things in life... or at least better things in the Sony monitor line. :D I'm evil in wanting my monitor to die because unless it does, I can't reasonably justify a new one.

Heh, you want a 45 pound 15 incher that puts everything in a yellow tint without a good smack to the corners? :p It still works, I can still do my work, play games, etc. so unless it dies like yours, she'll be mine.

That sucks. They same thing happened to my 17" Sony Trinirton monitor 6 months. It was such a nice monitor too. :( Right now I'm using an old POS 15" Packard Bell monitor that I have had to repair so many times I can't even count. The power button doesn't even work anymore so I had to splice the wires inside together to get it to turn on. :(:(

What's with all the stupid people quoting the same thing over and over...waste of bandwidth and storage... shut the fvck up! I wish people would stop this BS....this place is starting to remind me of a low class WWWBoard-based forum.

And sorry about your monitor. I've had my Samsung 950p for about 3 years and would be devasted if it quit on me...i love this monitor~
