Sceptre NAGA X 7G 17 inch LCD Monitor

My husband and I both bought this monitor at the same time after purchasing new computers in July 2006. Shortly after purchasing them we noticed 2 bad pixels on his and 4 on mine. After contacting the company we were informed that because we purchased our monitors at a Military Store overseas we were not eligible for the warranty (this applies to almost all other electronics as well). Either way, 2 days after the warranty expired my husbands monitor blinked off and refused to power up ever again. another 5 days later mine did the exact same thing. So, not only do they have crappy customer service but they also sell a crappy product. After opening the case to check it out ourselves we found a blown diode, the exact same one on both monitors. Coincidence, I think not.
