I have the summer b&w handheld. Got it less than a year ago and the left side of the screen is going very dark seems like almost 1/2 inch almost blacked out.
I know I've heard of others experiencing great customer service but I didn't register (if there was a card) is that the only way I will get help if turned that card in?
I cannot live without my video monitor and I don't want to have to buy a new one after less than a year!
Re: Video monitor screen turning black
Call or email them. I did when my handheld's battery went bad. They sent me a replacement battery with no issues.
They didn't ask for a receipt or anything, although I'd start looking for it, just in case.
I would call them. A receipt is all you should need if they ask you. Registration cards are a scam (ie. way to get your info so they can spam you with marketing materials) and in no way affect the warranty coverage of your product. I have the color handheld and love it. I've heard they have great customer service.

Edited to say that maybe I was a little harsh on registration card (I just hate junk mail). They do have one benefit - if the manufacturer knows you own a product and they have a recall on it - then they can send you recall info.
