I purchased my 1740 in Sep 2002, got 3 months of use out of it. It developed a problem, 2 entire lines of pixels went dead. It took numerous calls and emails (getting a call back from Formac is kinda like seeing Haily's Comet - it happens but maybe only once in a lifetime), finally Formac issues an RMA. After 3 weeks I call to check status, they claim they never received the monitor. After I produced the tracking verification that they signed, they finally admitted to receiving it. It took another week and a half to get a replacement. When replacement shows up, it doesn't work! That was 3 weeks ago and Foramc wont issue another RMA to me until I register the product on their website, and their automated registration doesn't recognize the SN of replacement monitor. Bottom line - Horrible service, nothing at Formac seems to work! Do yourself a huge favor and buy the Apple monitor.
