I finally had to replace mine at over 15 years, maybe even close to 20 years, and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a panel failure but one of the boards because it just shut off one day and never came back on. And prices had gone down so much in that time I went out and bought two 27” full HD monitors at Costco for what I think is the same or less than what I paid for that 17” SXGA in the early ’00s.
