Mine has been back for replacement once (something with the power supply, I think). They gave us so much hassle about it, it is too much trouble to send the replacement back for the bad pixel column the replacement unit developed since arrival. We've had good luck with ViewSonic in smaller formats. Haven't tried their larger models (like you want). Bud Dodson -- M. L. Dodson bdodson@scms.utmb.edu 409-772-2178 FAX: 409-772-1790
