Digital Home Thoughts: Dell's Premium Panel Guarantee

I was browsing through Dell's monitors, checking out what their latest 24" displays had to offer (I was curious if they had SDHC support; their tech specs don't actually mention that point - irritating!) and I happened to notice something that made me chuckle:

So why would I find that amusing? Because it took me 12 monitors to get three flawless 24" monitors, and if Dell had this policy in place last year I would have had much less stress. Good to see Dell improving their system, albeit fairly late in the game. One of my 24" Dell monitors has a nasty flickering problem that comes and goes, and I was very wary of returning it and getting sent a replacement that has a dead/stuck pixel - I wonder if Dell honours this policy on older Ultrasharp monitors that are still under warranty? I guess I'll find out soon enough...
