> "strenuous testing"? Really?

HP used to be an excellent company, with terrific quality products.

But alas, they are a shadow of their former selves now.

I purchased a HP 22 inch LCD monitor a few years back, and it was about 13 months old when it developed a nasty fault (the entire screen image would turn to static after a random amount of time).

LCD monitors should out last CRT monitors - so they should last 15+ years (all of my CRTs have lasted well over 15 years). e.g. I've still got a 14 inch colour Osbourne CRT monitor here that works perfectly (20+ years old) and an old 17 inch no-name CRT that I purchased with my Pentium 100 back in 1996 and it's still working fine. Hell, I've got some old AT's and XT's in the shed, and their ancient 25+ year old monitors work fine as well.

While many other LCD monitors seem to have 3 or more years warranties as standard, HP only have 1 year (or at least this monitor did).

And HP's shit monitors only last 13 months. Up yours HP. I'll never buy HP again.
