RE: [PLUG] near total kablooie

Some manufactures actually give you a different refurbished monitor if the
one you bought new has to be returned because it doesn't work properly. I
had this happen with NEC a few years ago. I was annoyed at the time, but
they were within their right as specified in the fine print. Fortunately,
the monitor still works 4 years later.

I bought a refurb monitor one time. I made the mistake of letting them
give me a monitor from stock instead of the one I actually looked at to
make my decision. It had problems so I drove many miles to get a
replacement. The replacement eventually had problems and failed.
Although, the monitor in front of me was purchased new, it has been
randomly turning blue.
*Final answer: Buy a new, high quality monitor with a good warranty.*
As far as KVMs go, why bother? Why not use VNC or something like that?
