Anyone have any idea of the duty cycle ( how long it can be left on ). I am using it for video monitor and have burned up two in 60 days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the price, but can be used for sueveillance, too., August 7, 2014 By Mike Kitsko Car Rear Vehicle Backup View Camera (Waterproof) (Electronics) from http://www.amazon.com/Rear-Vehicle-Backup-Camera-Waterproof/dp/B005CTKYB4/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top I purchased 7 of these cameras. Three for our cargo trailer wirelessly transmitted to our motel room or restaurant, to move our posessions back to Calif. and 4 for surveillance aound our new Calif. home. The camera is designed for backup, temporary ON use, and the regualtor gets hot in continuous servicr. That's the hump in the wire cable. I used 4, 1N1004 diodes in sesries with the red + power lead to reduce the voltave by 2.8 Volts, and it runs much cooler. Any 1 amp diode rated at 100 volts or more will work fine. I'm running 3 camereas off this diode string. One watches the rear, one the side and one on the front watches the truck and hitch. I would coat them with RTV compound to weather proof them. Mike Kitsko ....sounds promising but i got lost at diodes....youtube has helpful video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyhzpFqXwdA

Zmodo is a better idea, look around Amazon there are plenty of good cheap buys

Hey Amit, I have had the TV for 4 months, and have almost exclusively played my xbox 360 on it. If there are any burn in issues, I dont see them! I think a little common sense with regards to setting the TV to dim after inactivity, or even shut off (mine does automatically after fifteen minutes of inactivity). Anyway, Ive had no problems! Games look beautiful on this TV, by the way.

I'll let You know when it gives out. I used this as my primary TV almost 4 years ago when I was a Junior in college for an entire year. I have since used it as a gaming computer monitor; it is on every day all day and it has never given me any issues. It has been going solid for nearly four years and hasn't given any sign of breaking or giving out.

I've had two since purchased and I've never had any issues. Can imagine that's a monitor specific issue rather than a power issue, I'd say internal components are more likely to fail first over external if for some reason you are really stressing the PSU.

I have mine for about a little under a year and have had no issues with it...until today - I noticed that I do in fact have a dead pixel. I will be sending this product back and this will be my 3rd monitor from them.

Sorry for the tardy reply. I purchased this monitor earlier, but find no paper insert showing warranty details in the box.I did check on newegg web-site for warraty details for this monitor and find that it has a 3-year manufacturer limited warranty on parts and labor.I hope this info helps.

I would check the back of the monitor too, making sure that nothing got changed there. I've had mine for over 2 1/2 years and it still works perfectly! I love it!!! If you check the back and everything is as it should be, definately contact the manufacturer and get it replaced!

Cannot help you, if still under return timeframe, return it. I have two units, one used for three years, one still new in box, even un-opened--was going to sell it so did not want to open the box, but decided to keep it since now discontinued. Your post reminds me--I should take it out of the box and check it. Question--are you sure it is the monitor and not your video card in the computer, or interference from some other device? Check online for like symptoms. Love this monitor. If you can find a fix, and otherwise in good condition, worth fixing yourself.

Every time I'd turn the screen on it would be perfect, then after about 5 seconds the entire screen would become a dead pixel. The PCB going bad is apparently a common issue with these monitors. I told the seller about the issue and they paid to have it shipped back to them, no hassle. Got another one and it's perfect, no dead pixels.

Have you checked the outlet it's plugged into to see if it's hot? If you experienced a power surge when the outage occurred it may have fried the power supply. (We had this happen to several devices plugged into a surge suppressor when we had a lightning strike.) If you've only had this monitor for a short time (less than the 1 yr warranty coverage) you might contact Dell for guidance. Other than that, I can only suggest you have a tech look at it to determine cause and possible repair.

We had the same problem after a month. I took it back and got a new one. I am hoping maybe we all got lemons, because I otherwise love this monitor.

Did you put the battery in? The meter on mine quit working after a year or so but unless you record your mileages and times ii's no big deal at least to me. Otherwise call the company and request a new monitor

make sure it is connected to a video source, yellow plug. other than that i dont know. maybe defective? i would try a few different things before sending it back. turn it off then on, letting it warm up, etc

Yes. I had it with my first one. Sent it back and they sent me a new one. New one started doing it again after 3 weeks. It's something to do with the connection. not sure about the quality of shielding used in the cables. If I move the cables around in the back of the monitor it will sometimes go away for a day or so, but always comes back. Annoying as hell. The only issue I've had with it so far.
