Soldato
I got an email from Digimate stating that the arm removal should not compromise the warranty. I think that they have replied responsibly considering what you need to do to remove it.

If you remove each of the four screws and then damage the bezel or even the panel then I think you are going to be stuffed for not taking reasonable care in doing so.
If you do this then I would think that it would be no different than those who fit after-market coolers or water blocks etc to their GPU's - some retailers do not mind and others will state that your warranty is invalidated the moment you remove the standard one. But if you damage the GPU or the components in doing so you are stuffed.
I do not think that DGM sold this monitor with any intention of the end user removing the arm because if they did then surely it would have been attached externally or, at the very least, needing to remove a small panel to expose the arm attachment screws.
For those who wish to do that I think that it would be useful if Gibbo could confirm that if you needed to return the monitor for repair then it could be returned with the arm left inside the box and thus not needing to take it apart again just to attach it to a faulty monitor. But if you have already removed it successfully it is not a big job to put it back.
The main thing is that the arm can be removed and both DGM and OC are being helpful enough to confirm that you can do this without it causing a warranty issue.
Just got my DP cable from OC, as the postie has just turned up, with it so I'll try that out now

So the warranty concerns seem to be alleviated. The caveat, in my opinion, is not the warranty implication when removed but the question of damage caused if you try it.Were waiting for DGM to put in writing to us, it won't void warranty, shall update on Monday
