I bought my 30" ACD's in 2008, 2009 and 2011. Two have died. My last one is starting to wig out. The new 5k LG monitor is brighter and sharper, but it's only about 3/4 the physical screen space. Funny how some things go backwards and other things go forwards.

My 3 monitors have been used for 4 generations of Macs, though. Definitely agree that monitors live longer than the underlying computer.

If you don't want some of those attributes, then Rust probably isn't the best answer for you.
