i have a benq 17" fp767 that just died after plus or less 5 years. is that normal? how long have you guys had your lcd working?
 
They're theoretically supposed to last as long as the backlight, which could be as long as ten years. Unfortunately, since the LCD price war has been fierce, manufacturers are using some extremely cheap parts. Cheap PSU's and DVI / VGA ports will probably end up being the biggest LCD killers.
 
I got my Viewsonic 15" DVI LCD in 2001 (man it was expensive then!!) and it's still running strong. Plus, the big old-school bezel makes it look bigger than it actually is :cool:
 
Hate to say it, but I'll be happy if my monitor dies when it hits 5 years. By that time, probably won't cost an arm or leg to buy the exact same thing.
 
I have an NEC MultiSync LCD 1700M+ that I got in 2002, it was already used when I got it, and it still runs good as new.
 
BenQ FP72G+s still running great after a year and a few months, and only one dead pixel on the top of the a in Start :p Can't even see it if the taskbar is there :p
 
i am still on my first LCD, it a Sony SDM-X73, which i purchased in late 2003. no dead pixel either
 
I have used the Dead Pixel Buddy on my 3007wfp-hc and there was NO Dead pixel
at all:D
