wow, didn't know digit could help in this way too. I had similar issues with a lite on DVD writer around 3 years back. got damaged after 6 months of purchase, I gave it to service center. they returned a good piece after 3 months but didn't extend my warranty for this unused period. it again got damaged in the last month of warranty & i got it replaced again (in 3 months!). it survived for another 2 months, warranty was over by now. So bought an LG writer which I'm using for last 2 and half years. the irony, I had bought lite on because Digit had selected it as the best buy in their tests at that time! Have never recommended lite on to anyone after that.
BTW, congrats topgear, hope this monitor of yours lasts long coz you don't have warranty left.
