My space requires stacking units. My old all merchanical one I purchased used wasn’t very good, and I like the Samsung ones better so far. When it broke the repairman said he couldn’t fix it. It plays music when a cycle is done rather than an awful buzzer that was so loud I disabled it.
I have several Samsung 21 inch 1600×1200 monitors from 2005 still working great after 13 years of being on 40 hours a week. I got them all on ebay used in 2010 from a Florida court that was selling them. I like the 4×3 ratio better than wide screen, but it 4×3 monitors haven’t been manufactured for many years.
I also have a bunch of HP 2465 1920×1200 monitors, maybe 9 total. They are 16×10 which is at least better than 16×9 that is more common. They have manufactured dates between 2006 and 2008 and also have never once failed. One HP 2475, which is supposed to be slightly better, did fail. Finally I have one 2560×1600 Dell 3007wfp from 2007. It was about $1500 new, and $700 when I purchased it used in 2009. The panel is either LG or Samsung.
