- In our office, we have 2 ALR 286's, 3 ALR 386SX's and 2 ALR 486's.
- The 286's have been with us for over 3 yrs, and the others for over a
- year. All have performed flawlessly. They all come with Samsung monitors
- and one of the 286 monitors had to be replaced within the first year. It
- was replaced under warranty. We highly recommend ALR.
