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.

Infant mortality we call it in my line of work. We practice the burn in method as well. Relays, switches etc., get powered up and sit on the bench loaded for a specified period prior to installation. It rarely happens, but it does happen. Sometimes things just quit working.

My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
