>The most obvious and important question: did you save the store receipt? My primary computer monitor is a 32” Visio that has worked great for three years, never an issue unless I bump the button on my KVM switch and my Linux tower is off for some reason. But my good luck doesn’t rub off over the Internet. You may well have gotten a lemon. Many a monitor have I unboxed that never made it to a desktop because it was a factory stinker. Don’t assume that it’s just you. In fact, just blame the monitor and go get a good one. LOL
Have had a Visio 32” also for about 10 years, works fine - and it was a refurb. I keep the boxes for stuff about a year, toss them up in the attic until i’m sure the device doesn’t croak within a year, sometimes sooner. The risk is always there that you end up with a piece of crap.
Oh, you do that, too? LOL I just bought my wife a slimline laptop for her birthday and had everything right down to the screen shrinkwrap stuffed back in the box and put in the closet. Same went for our pool robo-cleaner. It died two months after we bought it and I’ve been fighting City Hall to get a damn warranty replacement/repair done. I finally threatened enough lives to get the paperwork processed, and it’s going back out the door with everything but the kitchen sink scanned and packed in. What the hell ever happened to a retailer or manufacturer honoring their warranties in good faith, anyway? Nowadays, everyone just wants to shit on you and walk away.
