We have a mixture of Dell and Samsung monitors at work. We replace the Samsungs all the time and the Dells are just workhorses. We have Dell mons here that run 24/7/365 and have been working for over 5 years. We've replaced about 6 Samsung flat screens that were within warranty in the past year.
And actually paying currency for a "conventional storage drive" in 2014 is silly. Because odds are a person has amassed a collection of HDDs over the years and you can just move over the one from your old PC and use that as storage. I have probably a half dozen HDDs just sitting on a shelf collecting dust. Any new drive purchase would be SSD and I'll just stack the hell out of them and throw as many games as will fit on them, and leave my photos/vids on HDD as a backup with cloud storage redundancy.
