Hey sunama, I purchased the monitor 6th March, so over 3 months; but I think it actually stated 14 days guarantee/warranty with OCUK. The 3 year swap-out was the reason I took the risk with a B-grade product (I can live with a dead pixel or two!)
What I was wondering was whether or not I could cite the Sales of Goods Act with a open box product? I was told that the box had merely been opened and that the item was 'as new' - no doubt returned swiftly by someone on this thread expecting a VA!
Don't you find it odd that you had the exact same problem as me and within the same timeperiod (3months). Anyone hear MANUFACTURE DEFECT.
Unfortunately, you are not going to see your monitor for the foreseable future.
