And no where is that more true that in Electronics, let alone monitors, I had purchased the SCEPTRE X9G Komodo VII A, thing I was getting a bargain & it lasted less than a year! Out of Warranty & they want me to pay $175 labor costs, $30 Shipping costs, & that doesn't even inclued PARTS! Well, SCEPTRE SUCKS! Plain & Simple, I've seen old CRT's last for DECADES! & this was my first flat screen purchase, I must say that I will never buy another SCEPTRE SUCKY PRODUCT AGAIN!
