That sounds to me like they wouldn't even replace it if it was broke in
transit!! Avoid.

At a cost of =A3200 for a tube is it worthwhile, considering you can get =

TFT from aria.co.uk for under =A3100 now?

Indeed

Has details about BenQ warranties, If I'm reading it correct then you sho=

have a 3 year warranty.

Thanks for that, I'll pursue that avenue when I return home. I should
still have the receipt, (I bought the monitor in a Tiny store !) but if
not it seems from Benq's T+Cs that they can still accept claims based
upon the manufacturing date. If all else fails that LG model mentioned
by Vortex2 looks tempting !

Thanks again to all for you responces
