I have had 3 of these monitors now and they all seem to die after about 1.5 years. For the first 2 monitors, I was able to get a warranty replacement, but you either have to pay $70 for shipping or try to find a service center. When I shared my experiences with others in the industry, they have said that they have had the same experience w/the monitors dying. It is really bothersome because the intial clarity, color and resolution is so nice on the G810. I just can't afford to replace them every year or so.

Bought mine in early 1997. Almost 9 years old now. Still works great. Originally connected to a Mac Clone. Now to my G4 MDD Power Mac. Bright & Sharp. Glad to see these are still available. Will buy again whenever mine dies.

I had this monitor for 6 years. It worked great, looked great, everyone who saw it wanted one. Last night it died : (. It was acting funny during the day, flickering and stuff. It made some really weird sounds and went black. I was talking on the phone and ignored it, then I smelled it. It was glowing orange inside and everything was melting (I assume, from the smell). I'm sad. I loved my monitor.

I ordered this monitor and got a different one the ordered. it was an intergraph 21sd95. DOn't know what happened.
