Interestingly, the estimated delivery dates on the website have gone from mid-November to mid-September now, for those still thinking about ordering. Sadly, Dell have still failed to even pick my broken one up for a refund even though they were meant to Friday last week.

New development on my monitor replacement: Dell have called me and insisted they cannot replace the monitor. They said that it's because sales channels and support channels get different inventory pools. That's probably the first time they've been honest with me. I expressed my frustration that...

I appreciate where you're coming from, but ordinarily I wouldn't touch Dell with a barge pole. This monitor is the sole exception because they basically have a monopoly on QD-OLED monitors right now. Their current behaviour, where they're lying through their teeth to me on my support ticket, is...

They've got 3 months of manufacturing backlog, I'm assuming they have allocation for that. This means they're prioritising customers who have not yet paid over customers who have paid but have not received a monitor (a screen that does not respond to input is not a monitor). This may be business...

In case this is useful to anyone thinking of buying, Dell have now told me the AW3423DW is no longer available and offered me an AW3821DW (LCD with local dimming) instead. I've said no and questioned why they're saying the monitor is not available if they're still selling it on their site. I'm...

They've said they will, whether they actually will, I have very little confidence of. Keeping in mind I was originally promised this order for early April.

That makes far more sense, thanks!

Fair enough, thanks for at least putting me at ease on that front. I guess that means the whole "in production" part of Dell's order status page is just a lie, though. Yeah, there's absolutely nothing I was able to do to with it. I tried 2 different input types and 2 different PCs, same result...

I ordered one of these on the 22nd of March and got it on Wednesday. I've now had a chance to set it up and...it doesn't work. It just cycles between colours, which sounds an awful lot like what these guys experienced...

Russia has been routinely violating the air space of other countries for a while now and Turkey ran out of patience. It's also a pretty safe bet that when two accounts differ, it's the Russian one that's lying.

If the design convergence was a natural and inevitable thing, how come Google were developing Android as a Blackberry clone with an optional touchscreen until the iPhone came out? It's well known they pivoted on a dime there.

Apple didn't want the DRM, but the music industry insisted, so they made it work for them. They didn't want the hassle of supporting other media players, so they didn't license it. If you didn't like DRM infested music, you could still buy CDs.

Patents have been around for a long time and the arguments over what is and isn't applicable have been raging just as long. It's something that people are going to disagree on pretty much forever. To claim that they have no interest in innovation is amusing, considering Apple have re-invented...

Well, that's the eternal question. It's almost impossible to come up with a line that isn't very blurry, but quite frankly, Samsung went so far past that point that I don't really think it's something to worry about. If you want to talk about generic Android, then I don't think it's so cut and...

Samsung specifically changed many, many parts of Android to look and behave more like Apple's products. For example, they made the launcher paginate horizontally instead of scroll vertically, they added the static row at the bottom of the screen, they put in a prominent home button and made the...

That's not really a fair argument. I'm a software engineer, my income is pretty much solely derived from writing software, but i think that copyright terms should be severely reduced and that software patents in general are a bad idea. This court case actually had me pretty conflicted, because...

Ah, so institutionalised corruption and almost mafia-like power is a-OK, but sue somebody for copying your design and it's boycott time? Interesting.

Phone or tablet, I guess, or are you a Mac user?

So who will you buy from instead then?

I bet you don't, either. In either case, how am I judging? I'm asking you not to judge based on something you yourself confessed you know nothing about. That's not judging somebody, that's responding to a post they made on a forum. And for the record, "it's my opinion" is not a defense or a...
