So, I can't help but notice that a Gateway Destination monitor is sitting in the hallway here at the University where I work. When I asked about whether it works, I was told that "one day it went green, and then later it wouldn't turn on." It is marked to be trashed, which knowing the bureacracy here just means that it's too much hassle to figure out the paperwork to get it fixed. So, it's feasible that "somebody" could come in the dark of night and wheel it out the door and the only person who would care would be the janitor who's happy he doesn't have to lift it.
I've heard that these things are prone to break down, but what is the usual cause and will it be cost-effective to get it fixed? I've seen some awfully nice showcase cabs made with these...
