This monitor was purchased on 7/14/15 and failed today, 9/8/15 (7 WEEKS).  According to the policy, I now must pay for shipping to have the monitor serviced, and will not have it back for at least 2 weeks.  I use a dual-monitor setup (fortunately), and the Samsung monitor alongside this product has worked flawlessly for 7 YEARS.  Bottom line: Buy a different monitor, not an Acer!

The 15 ft. cable will not support a 1920x1080 monitor and instead will force it to downgrade resolution. Invest in a thicker, better shielded cable.

Monitor was factory sealed but came DOA. Green vertical lines down the right hand side. Very disappointing, yeah they are replacing it but why can't they test the panels for faults? Do they even have a quality control department?

Another thing I feel I need to mention, the unit was factory sealed but the units settings were not the default values as if it had been used before. It was set to "Driving Game" Mode and the colours had been adjusted. This suggests to me that the unit maybe was refurbished and sold as new! If so ASUS was too incompetent to fix the fault or even preform a basic factory reset!

Read all the different threads.  Ask yourself why you would gamble on this particular monitor.  Dell has been less than upfront with fixing issues for those who have owned the monitor with earlier firmware revisions.  Given this, ask yourself why you would buy hardware from this company and risk the issues and hours of frustration it will bring.

Would recommend that you stay away from this monitor.  There are documented issues with restart and the firmware on this monitor and Dell Support has been very poor at resolving the issue.  Multiple hours spent with Dell, only to be told to contact Apple.

Add me to the list of this monitor is flickering and probably will be completely dead soon. At least for me it lasted about 2 years 3 months. Bought it at Microcenter for $340. I suppose I could try the power supply swap but seems silly for $110. Looks like I'm in the market for another monitor and will be avoiding these cheap monitors. This is my second Auria that has failed in less than 3 years of ownership. Other was a 24" one that lasted about 3 years.

Samsung is not on my Christmas list!

RMA support and repair of existing Monitors is 1/2 star and attempts to escalate were denied.

Overall support is poor at best. I decided to give ASUS VE248H - 24" a chance making Sansung's
lack of support a non issue.

It looked good out of the box but mine showed signs of poor quality control with 7 dead red and blue pixels.

Be sure to load up an all black screen and check it for random dots when you first get a monitor to see if you got a lemon.

UPDATE: I sent it back for a replacement but ASUS sent it back claiming there were no dead pixels. This was after emailing them back and forth for a week telling them to bring up a black screen which made the bright red dead pixels in the center of the screen blaringly apparent. They still sent it back, so obviously their employees in manufacturing and in the returns departments are blind.

I'm now stuck with this monitor that I can't even sell on ebay because no one wants to stare at a monitor with bright red pixels in the center of the screen.

I ended up getting an HP monitor which has worked great. HP has a strict no dead pixels policy. I won't be buying any more ASUS products. The last few motherboards I've gotten from them have been a little less than stellar also such as the network card that died on one and the placement of SATA connections on another that makes it so you have to use tweezers to disconnect the cables.

I got this from Amazon.com LLC.  We had it in the office for a little over a month and just tried installing it now. The DVI port does not work and Amazon.com LLC will not accept a return after 30 days. I'm stuck with it. BenQ has no US support that I can locate. I should have bought it from B&H. Never shop at Amazon.com LLC again and never buy this monitor again.

two of the cables failed from start:  one does not work at all, the other displays bad colors.
After 5 months, all 4 cables have failed.  Stay away from the these C&E CNE63264 cables.

if you want a good VGA cable see this:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BFZG3B4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

This monitor was great while it worked. after exactly 5 months it would not turn back on. Tried other cables for power and signal and still no activity. Was protected with a surge protector. I have contacted Viewsonic Tech Support. Cost me $60 to ship back to manufacturer. They are only paying shipping one way. Would NOT recommend.

Ordered this July 10th. Have had nothing but problems with it. Minor ones.
Sent it back to AOC ( They made me pay the 170 dollars shipping)
And they send me back the same exact monitor. No replacement, nothing.

I try it out, it works fine... Until now. So if you're planning on buying a monitor that will only last 9 months. Go for this one.
I won't even bother reaching out to AOC support again. Bad brand, avoid.

The first one failed after about 3 months.  The problem was NOT the power brick; I replaced it to no avail.  The seller was nice enough to send a replacement, but then the replacement failed after about 2 months.  The panel itself produces gorgeous images, but there seem to be controller and/or comm chip problems that cause the monitor to become unusable quickly.  After about 2 months the first one I received started to flicker down to a dim state.  I could adjust the brightness back up but within a few minutes it would flicker down to dimness again.  The replacement monitor stopped being recognized by my computer after the computer booted up; it would remain dark and not be detected by the Display Control Panel.  Oddly, the failures of both units were presaged by the power light malfunctioning for about a month.

It worked beautiful when connected through usb 3.0
It hasn't been a week and the converter doesn't work anymore. I've tried switching usb, vga cables, monitors, nothing happens. It recognizes another monitor being connected but won't show any picutre. I've contacted the seller and am awaiting a response. Will update soon

I purchased this in Nov 2016, the window to return the item shows January 31, 2017. I went to turn it on Feb 11, 2017, and it is dead. Totally ridiculous that a monitor only lasts 4 months.
