My refurbished KDS monitor is about to give up the ghost. It had been flickering for weeks until last night, when the picture "melted" off the screen"--leaving me in the dark for an hour. Same thing happened this morning, so tonight I'm borrowing my brother's spare monitor until I can shop for a replacement. Henry says I should go LCD.
