I wasn't too worried because I had a maintenance contract on my 3/280 and the 3 3/60's. However, I have now picked-up 9 3/50s that have the same monitor. (Yes, I know about the 3/60 trade-in and the performance of the 3/80. But I had some good reasons for the 3/50s) Anyway, I guess that I can expect the same performance on these 9 monitors. What options do I have besides putting them on an expensive maintenance contract and how much do these options cost?
