Really? I have heard that they can survive maybe one or two years in substandard conditions, but 10? That's a long time to show no signs of poor health...if that is true than I could keep a monitor for a good portion of my life and never know that I am torturing him?

It would also mean the majority of monitor owners might have no idea what they are doing raising their monitors?..because how many people really have monitors that are 10+ years old?

I expect that under ideal conditions they could live 15-20 years...maybe more is that correct? Please don't take my questioning this response as an insult...I am not saying you are wrong, just that really is a surprising response. Thanks for the input
