how long do LED,LCD monitors last?

how long do LED monitors last?

how long do LCD monitors last?

if you know, what usually goes wrong with them? (CFL,PSU, capacitor, LCD, LED,driver circuitry, chips)

I have a friend who had a flat panel display (don't know if it was an LCD or LED) and it lasted the length of the warranty - failed due to power supply capacitor).

he ended up buying a new monitor.

IF it is just the power supply that usually goes out (my psu is separate), I figure I can order a new power adapter from the company that made the monitor. if I am forced to, I can MAYBE splice one together from newark.com using the existing power connector cable (so I have the right connector).

a little heat shrink tubing, solder, soldering iron, wire cutters, wire strippers, ohmmeter/DMM to tell which wires go to which part of the connector, and away we go...

    A LED or LCD monitor may last a few days or many years. Capacitors can blow - this may cause problems with starting your monitor - it can actually be quite frustrating. A went through 3 monitors in 2 years and have been using my current monitor for almost 4 years. So it is a lottery. No hard and fast rules. The quality of the viewing may start tor educe, but thats it.
