Well, I've had my DGM for a day less than four weeks (arrived on 05.02.13) and I've just heard a loud pop... "pop" is a rather appropriate word, it sound just like a dent in a pop bottle springing back into place. I suspect it's the power brick as it has an acrid smell, where as the monitor doesn't.

Save going to the expense of unnecessarily shipping the screen back to OcUK, does anyone know of a power brick that'd be compatible with the screen or where I would be able to get one of a higher quality than the one DGM supplies?

I feel I must say at this point, assuming it's not the screen itself that's gone pop, that so far I can't fault the monitor. The colours are vibrant, there are no dead pixels (at least non that I can find), there's no back light bleed and the whites are really white. If I had to find fault, I'd say that the blacks are fairly poor but it's only really noticeable in a dark room or when the image is particularly dark.
 
I'm leaning towards getting a refund and spending a bit extra to get a Dell. I think the quality will be worth paying a little bit more for. Again, I can't fault the monitor but the brick going pop does make me wonder.
 
I tested the speakers once, realised that they were utter poop and went back to using my headphones (which are plugged into my soundcard). So, they were set to about fiftyish for all of 30 secondss and the back to zero since, with the sound cable unplugged.


[EDIT] 666 post... I think I might listen to a bit of Iron Maiden to celebrate this truly moments occasion.
