Hi All,
Anyone know who the monitor manufacturers are that
make monitors that have long lifespans?
I searched on the web and was disappointed on how many
reviews were just shills for folks I know do now make
good stuff.
Be nice if they were not make in communist China. Free
China (Taiwan), South Koren, USA, Germany would be nice.
Many thanks,

My NEC monitor is around 20 years old. It's made it
along, long enough, the CCFL tubes are entering the
brown state (intensity is down a bit). The inverter
on it, is likely to be piezo type.
I'm typing this on an Acer monitor. Seems reasonably
well behaved. The other Acer, the newer Acer, the HDMI port
is picky about its friends. Since it has HDMI and VGA,
I have options (thank goodness).
All electronics eventually devolve the same way.
A big factory, actually makes the items. Intermediaries
slap their name on the item and sell it. The quality then,
is partially out of their hands. Some companies go to
the trouble of spelling out all their requirements
and then inspecting the item when it comes in, and the
price might be marginally higher to achieve that level
of control. Others who deal in contract items, just don't
care about their name/reputation being ruined.
Does Dell make its own monitors ? Or does a large factory
somewhere make the thing for them ?
As an illustration of my shocked face, years ago I bought
two sound cards. Each had unique branding on the outside,
implying the sound cards I had bought, would have nothing
in common.
When I got them home, the cards of course can be visually
verified. Each had an inspection sticker on it. The two cards ?
Had *identical* inspection stickers. The two cards had come
from the *same* factory.
Stereo equipment also went this way. You could have two brands
which publicly seemed to be "at each others throats". Yet,
inside the devices, they bore marks of the items having
come from the same factory.
So while it is fun to pretend we can identify a "quality"
supplier, for the most part I consider such an exercise
with electronics to be "delusional". We don't know where
the stuff comes from. Only a review or pictures of
the innards, might serve to improve our discrimination.
If Seasonic offers a cheap power supply, it did not come
from a Seasonic factory. Just about all the power supply
companies, have the option of contracting out their cheese
flavored item to the lowest bidder. There have also been
suppliers who contract out all their stuff (Antec using
ChannelWell CWT, previously might have been HEC). This is
why we used to have a couple web pages that warned about
who made what and what to expect.

Exactly. I have a 19" Dell monitor for the last 10 years that got at
a hamfest for $20. I dont' know how old it was when I bought it. It has
a couple scratches on the screen but I can only see them when the screen
is off or blank. With anything else on the screen, I can't even find
the scratches.
Every few months I wish I could make the brightness higher, but that's usually some night scene that maybe was meant to be dark.

I'm no expert, but when I researched the best monitor for a
reasonable price some time ago I ended up getting a Dell
P2719H. A 27" monitor. I wanted to be sure to get an IPS monitor.
Aside from that I didn't need the top model. I think it
was about $200. ($340 now!) I'm very happy with it. I have
it mounted on a drawer slide, which is mounted to the bottom
of a bookshelf. So I can slide it closer or further easily. I like
good ergonomics. The inf file for driver install says 1/2018.
I probably bought it about 3 years ago, but it might have
been longer.
Manufacture? I'd guess China. Very few things these days are
made without exploiting virtual slave labor. That's why shirts
cost $20 instead of $200.
