Should I upgrade or not? NEC 20WMGX2 user

[texnote]

Hello,

I currently have a NEC 20WMGX2 LCD, 1680 x 1050, 20.1". It's still beautiful and works very well. It has around 28,000 'ON" hours and 41,500 "OFF" hours on it.

My worry is that it may fail suddenly after many years of use, and I rather look for a deal now, than wait and rush to buy something expensive.

Is it normal to expect the NEC to work for a few more years? Or am I down to a few months with the hour figures given above?

Thanks!

Paul

Monitors tend to last a while. However, I would recommend upgrading just to get something bigger, better and more modern.

Yours hasn't gone yellow yet? I left mine with my parents' old desktop rig as the CCFL backlight got old and notably yellow.

Mine's still rocking. its having some major issues, none of them are color though.

I'll probably replace it this winter...
