When good monitors go bad

Yesterday afternoon as I was reading interesting tales o’ the Internet, the monitor screen, with no warning or fanfare, suddenly went dark and the power light shut off. I tried the power switch but to no avail. A computer reboot did nothing. Switching cables and testing it on the server machine proved as successful as Nine Inch Nails at the Grand Old Opry. After eight months the monitor was dead. I was and am chagrined. Today I get to find out how good Samsung’s warranty service is.

In case you want to avoid it, the model that went kaput is the T240.
