Quite a while back I purchased a MAG 19" flat screen CRT. I really wanted a Samsung but the Samsung's and Viewsonic's had rebates. I hate Rebates! So I bought the MAG (No Rebate). I bought it at Best Buy and I also purchased a 3yr BB warranty. About 1 year after I bought it I came home from work and turned on my computer, the screen was Blue although I could still see everything. This lasted for about 15 minutes then it went back to normal. The next day or two this continued. Then a few days later I turned it on to find it Green, this lasted for about 20 minutes each time. A week later I came home to find it had turned Redish, Pink and now was lasting for over a half an hour. I call Best Buy Warranty information, they said the monitor was bad and to return it to any Best Buy.
A good outcome: Best Buy no longer carried that Flat Screen MAG so they asked me if I wanted the Viewsonic or the Samsung. I took the Samsung. After all was said and done BB gave me $31.50 back because the prices had gone down since I purchased the monitor and they also gave me Rebate Forms for another $40 from Samsung.
So I got a New Samsung Monitor, $71.50 cash back, and still had the remainder of the 3yr BB warranty.
