If your thinking of buying a flat screen Monitor Take Heed

[celia]

Hi Folks
Well i have finally after nearly two weeks got back on net and after four days fixed my email a few hours ago.I lost all in the P.C.Re-installation.Which brings me to the monitor,it turned out that was the problem cos it still didn't work:( After traipsing round all the the known local computer shops for a couple of afternoons.I found they cant be repaired,last week i went to the last shop asking why they cant be repaired.He pointed to two  monitors in the shop that he was selling with the chosen computer,one was on the way out the one got so hot it destroyed itself.Maybe that what happened two mine,it was only 2 years old.So i now have a nice knew one,funny thing is there is a guarantee Warranty with it, apparently it can be repaired or replaced under the three year warranty.So my advice to you if your buying a new monitor  keep your receipt fill it in, dont take a risks or might be sorry.

Thank you for that advice Celia,

I have been thinking about buying a bigger one, because I hoped that I would be able to see it better!

P.S you can do that via your computer OR if your mouse has a wheel just turn it towards you.That will make it whatever size you want smaller or larger

Hi Celia,

I have already done that!  But I found my Daughter's screen which is a lot bigger than mine, so easy to read!

I am saving up really, because it would probably be best to get another computer long term.

Thanks so much for your advice though, I do appreciate it!

My husband has had a large flat screen monitor (I think its about 16")  for about 5 years now and has never had a problem.  It is an NEC Multisync LCD 2070VX.

re monitor warranties.  They are not repaired but replaced with a refurbished one.
I know as I used to work in the service dept of HP.

Hi JC,

I was considering a new one because I hoped that it might be easier to see now that I am having trouble with  my eyes.   

I would value your opinion on the flat screen v the ordinary monitor, if you have the time!

Thank you  in anticipation!
