  In our office, we have 2 ALR 286's, 3 ALR 386SX's and 2 ALR 486's.  
The 286's have been with us for over 3 yrs, and the others for over a
year.  All have performed flawlessly.  They all come with Samsung monitors 
and one of the 286 monitors had to be replaced within the first year. It 
was replaced under warranty.  We highly recommend ALR.
