7452.0. "How many times can a monitor mode switch?" by SNOFS1::powell.snl.dec.com::powellronald (Australia!) Mon May 26 1997 23:00

I have just been playing with the RCI 4 port console for our rack systems. One 
observation and one question.
 A Venturis FX will not power up with the master console connected to its VGA port. I 
disconnected the VGA at the computer, powered on the Venturis and then reconnected the VGA 
cable and all works ok.

 The question is- with the master console in scan mode, and multiple machines running 
different video modes, the monitor relays click every mode change- how long is a monitor 
supposed to take this treatment before failing? IE- what is the design life of the mode 
relays?
