Hit 15 years with my dual monitor setup last month

I've been running the same two Dell 2007FP monitors since 2009 and they still work fine for my work. It makes me wonder how many setups today will even make it past 5 years before someone replaces them.

Ha, I'm pretty sure my setup has been running longer than some relationships I've had lol. Seriously though, fifteen years on the same monitors is wild but also kind of impressive. That old Dell hardware was built like a tank. I bet half the people with brand new curved ultrawides will have swapped them out three times in that same span.

Man I read somewhere that those old Dells had a failure rate of like 2% over a decade, that's crazy good. Meanwhile my buddy's curved monitor got a dead pixel after 6 months lol
