You seem to have a couple of monitors that are 100% ok. I'm really glad for you, however you don't really know because you are too lazy/scared to check them with easily available tools on the net.
From reading your comments you have absolutely no compassion for those numerous people who have spent ~$800 and received a duff product.
Perhaps you might keep your smug comments to yourself in future and let those who "DO" have a problem converse with others about their predicament.
I haven't received my monitor yet but feel for those who have been bitterly disappointed by the lack of QA, zero response/admission from Asus and poor after sales support considering the premium price of the monitor.
One last thing; I don't think that 11 pages of threads on this monitor, the majority with problems, is a "relatively small number of folks".
You need to relax. Problems or no problems with your $800 monitor, there is no reason to getting your panties all bunched up.
First off, this is NOT a trouble shooting thread. Did you even take the time to read the thread title? This is about the back order situation. This thread topic has NOTHING to do with issues some folks are having with the monitor. This thread is about where and when folks may be able to purchase the monitor in the USA as it has been hard to find. Now, if some people who have had issues with their monitor want to come on this thread and post about off topic, negative experiences that is their right. As it is my right to come and post positive counter experiences as they relate to the buying decision. On the other hand, if I had stepped into a trouble shooting thread and said "Hey, my monitor works fine" I would get your point and that could be offensive. But that is not the case here in THIS thread.
Second, even 30 users on 50 pages of threads still isn't statistically significant. Sorry. My opinion. Given that every monitor produced since launch is sold out would suggest that thousands upon thousands of monitors have been sold. And we know that folks without problems rarely post. And that those that do have issues find their way here. So I'm really not too shocked about what I'm seeing.
Do I think the problems folks are having suck? ...sure do. Totally blows. Would it be better if no one experienced a single issue? ...sure would be. Do I think the monitor is bleeding edge in its feature set and likely the root cause of a higher % of issues?...absolutely. BUT, I'm not going to warn folks away from this monitor based on the postings here and the two great experiences I've had thus far. You seem to be confusing my comments about trouble free experiences and the fact that I don't want to warn people away from buying this monitor with the concept that I do not have sympathy for those with issues....and that's not true. I'm sure it sucks. I've been in the same situation over the years myself. However, within the context of the TOPIC of THIS thread, my comments have merit...even if they offend you because you are disappointed with your experience. Not everyone is experiencing the same issues.
