The Eizos in Australia have five year warrantys for both the Coloredge and lesser models -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Richard Sent: Friday, 22 September 2006 10:20 To: Leica Users Group; Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Monitor calibration (was Umbria and Saas Fee 2006) My Lacie has a one or two year warranty. It dies just after 3 years. I believe the ColorEdge has a one year warranty also. Unfortunately, nowaday higher cost doesn't mean squat in terms of longevity, unless you are talking about a Leica. Your grandchildren would be able to use it to pound nails where the last rolls of Tri X disappears. At 05:08 PM 9/21/2006, Scott McLoughlin wrote: >Thanks.
