Dell made a request for replacement monitor for the aw3420dw. And when i asked them today the status of my order they said the monitor is under production and its going to be shipped today and i will get it tomorrow. Now how fast can their production takes?  Like 1 day to put a monitor together? Im not an expert but is that how fast its?

My geuss, its improper english from a non native speaker. simply meaning its in transit from a warehouse somewhere.

Other than that. Yeah production or rather assembly shouldn't take more than 30 minutes for a monitor.

Monitors are usually manufactured in the hundreds - thousands per day. This is no surprise at all to me. Production lines like Alienware and dell have allow them to assemble a single monitor in less then 2 hours from start to finish, but with hundreds in some part of the assembly process at once.

Either they are fast, or they are telling you big stories to impress you.

 

I would have to guess they were already building one with no order attached, but once they heard about your RMA request, just added your order/name to an ongoing product creation.

Plus it's not that much work.. just slap a panel in a housing, with some more components, test it out and throw it in a cardboard box.

Of course that is massively oversimplified, but you get the point; they likely have stock of most of those parts

Most monitors now are simply snapped together, with only a few screws to hold certain parts together.  The LCD panel itself is made at another factory (most likely from LG), so all Dell's factory has to do is connect a few wires, put a few pieces of tape down, snap it together, and put in a couple screws to finish.  I've done repairs on a few monitors around here, and can usually tear them down on my own in 10 or 15 minutes.
