After around four years, my Hisense HSL5529HDI LCD TV I was using as a computer monitor gave up the ghost yesterday. The reason? A row of Samxon GDs failed in the PSU, also taking out a "TLC" brand cap on the main board. This same TV lost its RF connector early in its life (2009) due to our cat tripping over the aerial cord and ripping it straight off the board, still connected to the cable. Ironically, the same cat also did this to our CRT TV in 2005 (a 51cm Dick Smith/"DSE" relabel).
Also of note, while the panel was 1680x1050, if you plugged a 1680x1050 VGA signal into it, it would truncate this to 1400x1050, stretching the result to 1680x1050. Yet, if you used a highly unusual 1440x1050 mode, you would get 1:1 pixels if you changed the TV's display mode to 4:3 (also, the 'wide' setting was called 16:9 according to the OSD itself). I never tried DVI with this PC (note that the TV would then require a DVI-HDMI adapter).
