I did some work in the electronics industry and learned that many parts that fail may fail quickly. They made, among other things, amplifiers for Cable TV systems.

When in the field, they would be hanging on telephone poles or in less than easy to get to lockers on the ground, and a PITA and service outage to replace.

They used to 'bake' everything before it went out in the real world. Turn them on for a few days, figuring if they made it that long, they would make it for years unless abused.

It was all high-end gear, too.

So if your new monitor doesn't work, the warranty should cover it.

If you have another computer to test it on, it would verify that it's the monitor and not something in the computer.
