Am I going crazy or does ASUS really suck?

If you leave a copy of Half-Life 2 under your pillow, maybe GabeN will visit you in the night and unstick the pixel?

I had 3 vg248qe, and none of em had issues (bought em from amazon)

 

I also have a RIVE, never had any issues at all with it.  The only issue I'll ever have with my motherboard is when it decides not to push 1.7 volts through my CPU someday and blows up xD

 

Had a xonar phoebus once too, it had a weird crackle problem but I sent it back and got a new one that didn't do it.

 

Oh forgot to mention, currently have a PB278Q that was factory refurbished, absolutely perfect :)

Do you find the fact that the OSD buttons are underneath the monitor annoying as oppose to the other PB line of ASUS monitors being positioned on the right hand side?

What do you mean? They're in the same place as where my VG248QE's buttons were and I haven't ever tried any other PB monitor from Asus,  I kind of like the fact that they're under the monitor, I never use them + it gives it a more sleek look.

Well, the BenQ XL2411T uses the same panel as the VG248QE, so the gsync kit should technically work on it. Of course, the housing won't fit. Not sure if anyone has actually tried, though.

 

My VG248QE is great. Backlight is a little lumpy, but no lit/dead pixels. I liked it when I bought it, and even more after installing a gsync kit.

main(i){for(;i<101;i++)printf("Fizz\n\0Fizzz\bBuzz\n\0%d\n"+(!(i%5)^!!(i%3)*3)*6,i);}

That is actually the reason I bought the monitor however two harsh truths struck me fast: I have no money and the G-Sync kit was only produced for a limited time.

I've never had a fault with ASUS so I'd put it down to bad luck, that or your postman hates you.

bad luck for sure... I have 3 Asus monitors and they all work amazingly, (in sig if curious) I have had a couple of them for over a year and one is about 5 months old.

GSync kits are actually back in stock. I didn't think they'd do a second run.

I noticed but unfortunately I still have no money and due to the widespread unemployment of my family it does not look like I will get it.
