In general I agree with M. Leo Cooper, but in case you need to get a monitor
repaired I found Versatronics in Campbell 378-2423 (511 E. Campbell Ave.) to
be excellent.  I got several of my monitors and printers repaired by them
(and no, I have no affiliation with them -- just a satisfied customer).
