| Blew up monitor yesterday My 17" crt from AOC has died on me yesterday. at resolution higher then 800x600 the screen would warp and display strange artifacts at the same time there is a burning smell coming out of it. Filed a RMA, let's see how fast they will respond. |

| Nope, I hope my replacement gets here before the end of next week, if not I need to borrow a monitor of someone for OCC. |

| 17"CRT is dirt cheap; returning would cost more in freight. I picked up two 17" second handed HP CRTs for $20 each; I left them in my truck so that I don't have to carry them back in the house everytime when I go to show.
