    Their PC monitors are still solid. At least with that you’re just getting the screen. The second they add shit I’m out.

      My monitor literally had the screen fall out 6 months in. Took a total of 5 months of daily bullshit calls with them to get a replacement

      They’re really not. Brick-and-barrel-pin power connectors, panels that shit the bed with regularity, and a few “smart” monitor models. Other brands are more reliable imo.

        I have 8 samsung monitors of all types in my house and the youngest one is 3 years old now. I’ve only had 1 failure out of their panels in over 15 years. (Which turned out to be an easy fix.) Anecdotal, yes, but maybe you can enlighten me?

          Wide variety of dead/dying backlights, as well as malfunctioning video ports (flickering, static, etc. with no discernable cause, no matter the cable/device); extra/ultra-wides seemed especially unstable. The curved ones do not have serviceable backlights so they’re electronic waste. Source: larger scale IT 😬
