I had an equivalent Compaq Trinitron tubed monitor that failed under warranty, shortly after HP took over Compaq's interested, at which point they gave me that runaround in verifying warranty rights before they sent a P930. Being a non-sony tube I wasn't thrilled with the substitution but it worked fine for a few years then got dimmer and dimmer till the video card driver tweaks were marginal and it was planned to be replaced... then when it got colder as winter set on, the horizonal starting going out and there was rapid wiggling of everything on-screen. unfortunately the original compaq warranty was up, but i prefer LCDs so it was just a nudge in the the right direction except i'd have liked to get a year or more out of it... it does seem it died too soon.
