So after working an entire day making my corner PC desk able to fit a 32" Monitor, I plug it in put everything where it is supposed to be and The Monitor will not power up. So I have an RMA waiting with for a refund from NewEgg. The next attempt will be at The Best Buy Store. I may pay more but they will test it first. I am now a very sore unhappy camper. My body aches all over. Oh well stuff happens.

Bummer, better luck this time! :crossed

Sorry to hear about your experience. That's kind of shocking because ViewSonic makes some good quality monitors. I hope you have a better experience with the next one!

Quick feedback on the speakers.. they are amazing.. I can't ask for more.

That's great to read! Glad you're enjoying the speakers. You might want to chain them to your desk to prevent Erin from absconding with them!

I listened to a record by the War on Drugs last night and it sounded great. While the other speakers were ok.. these aren't muddy.

So true.. and that's why I have to chain them to the desk. Erin was listening to Adele on them and she had a look in her eye that told me I was in trouble. LOL

This might be the one..., but not until closer to Christmas...,
buddy at the store says it'll go on sale quite significantly toward the end of the year!

I hope so! My tech buddy has one, he says, 'Once you're on this monitor, you'll not go back to anything else!'
Encouraging, so I hope to score a sweet deal toward the end of the year! :wink:

I can only imagine how great that is..

Yeah..., provided everything works properly!

I still have rendering/resolution problems, not to mention erratic mouse behavior between my 4K, the smaller ultrawide and my 2x27 inchers!

Windows sucks dealing with multiple alternative resolutions!

I know , I owned one in the late 90's. I am getting a refund and am just going to keep the Dell 24' 144 MHz Monitor that I have for now. It is not that old and still works.

From what I've read Dell makes a great monitor.

Customize my keyboard experience? A mechanical keyboard sample pack of different types of switches to see what I might like best (if not what I already have which are Gateron browns). Has both linear and tactile. I just got a a hot-swap keyboard so should be easy to pop them in and test (jinx). And I didn't even have to round the image corners.

That's pretty neat! I'd have to go with the purple, though. :)
