How does the warranty work on these? The Hazro website states to contact the supplier but OC have told me to contact Hazro.

OcUK have to sort it out for you by law for 6 months after purchase where you don't need to prove it's a manufacture defect rather than wear and tear or whatever, and 6 years where you do, whatever the warranty states.

It also has a 3 year return to base warranty with it if you check the specs on OcUK.
 
Committed Buyer here just have a few questions for OUK and/or Hazro before making the purchase...

I'm from USA and would like to order the HZ27WC NON-Glass version and I know I can only get that from here and not the hazro.com website.

From the description on this website, it seems like the monitor is only available to people in the UK BUT when I add it to my cart and put in my USA address, it now gives me the option to get it shipped from DHL Worldwide service (it wasn't there before just pick-up only option)

Three main questions are:

1. Is this even possible to order from the USA here or just an error on the website and
2. Will I get the USA rated power supply or will it just be the UK one and blow up when I plug it in (I know if I order the normal one from the hazro website, it will be the USA plug)
3. If it's not possible to buy this Non-Glass from OUK can I do a special order through Hazro?

I have owned two 27" Apple LED Cinema displays for years and I'm 2 for 2 with having dust stuck behind the glass and I would rather not have to deal with that problem yet again! Plus cutting down on the reflection issue without degrading the quality (from what I've read in all the pages on this thread) is a huge plus because even though my monitor is in a light controlled environment, reflections are still pretty noticeable in dark scenes and degrade the experience (still wouldn't get anything besides this/hazro equivalent monitor though) Thank You!
 
I suspect that since it is a product aimed at the UK market its only going to come from OCUK with a UK power supply. Its an external one though so sourcing your own is an option i guess.

The specs un www.hazro.com say that it is an autoswitching power supply that accepts from 100-250V, if I remember correctly.

Just send messages to ocuk and hazro to know if they are able to deliver to US.

Have the prices gone up again on these? I was just looking over them to budget out buying them soon. I'm sure they've gone up another £50-100 since the last hike :/

The last hike? You've never been able to get a WC for under £300 so that isn't £100 more than any 'hike'.

As for the WA, on the 'this week only' it's about £10 more than i paid for mine on the special pre-order price weeks back.
 
I've been looking into a good 27" monitor for a while now and I'll probably pick up the HZ27WC, that's if OCUK don't have a problem shipping it to Ireland.

This is giving me some pause:
"Only available to customers in the United Kingdom
- 3yr RTB Warranty (UK customer only)"

Also does the HZ27WC support HDCP through the DVI link? Or Will I be forced to buy the HZ27WA in order to have HDCP support?
 
Hey all, interested in this monitor to replace two U2311's. The anti glare has always bugged me on these and I'd love a size upgrade anyway.

Torn on the whole anti glare/glossy issue. I know glossy gives more perceived saturation, but I'd like a side by side comparison of these two next to each other just to see. I've used a glossy before and imo, it's much easier for my brain to look past a reflection than it is to look past a diffused light on an anti glare.

I've heard that the C version has a lot less input lag than the A, but with less features. is the input lag on the A more to the point that it's noticeable, or is this just a stat thing?

And lastly, how about that dot pitch? Wouldn't that make text extremely small? I mean, my eyes are good to the point that I can read what's on a screen from the other side of my room on my 23" 1080, but I'm thinking the 27" will be a little ridiculous. Thoughts?

Also, how is the HDCP issue? Has that all been sorted now?

Also, seeing as no one else will be able to do it, Hazro, can you provide a picture of both types of monitors (glass and non glass) side by side with the same settings, so we can compare easily under the same lighting conditions, ect.?

You can adjust scale of representation of the documents you are looking at in almost all programs. In some others (mail) you have options to change typeface and size. Some help systems of applications don't have this possibility, but in almost all cases there is no problem at all. I am using a HZ27WA, and I find it excellent for working with text and numbers.

Ah, didn't think it would be a problem really.

Also, what is this talk of the glass layer being too far from the LCD panel and causing inner reflections? This true or just hearsay from people who don't own it? I thought Apple did the exact same thing with the ACD and I don't see people complaining.

Also, noticed this:

The AG 2H coating is on all the HZ27WA and HZ27WC monitors regardless of the glass

What's the point in getting the all glass version when there's an AG coating anyway? It makes no sense at all.


Sorry for all these questions haha :D

All I can say is I have two none glass screens. Both are excellent and I have high standards but not unrealistic. I can't fault them for the price.

There are reflections if you are in a bright environment or have light sources behind you. That's no problem if you are working with text and number documents, as the image is bright, and you won't see the reflections. Looking at fotos and videos… to see well the darker parts of the images yo will have to control ambient illumination.

I cannot see any adverse effect of inner reflections on the image quality. There are reflections of ambient light (that can be controlled reducing it; the clear photodon film I use helps to reduce them, too), but I cannot see any secondary reflection of the screen image in the glass, no double image on contrasty border, or anything similar.

I cannot see directly the screen coating as I have the glass version. But whites are completely uniform, there is no grainy structure or flickering. I tried a sample of an antiglare film on my screen, and the effect was really annoying.

I think the AG coating of the screen must be very soft, more antireflective (like treatments of optical lenses) then antiglare (diffusion). And many told us here that the glassless version is glossy, so the AG treatment must have a very small degree of diffusion.

Thanks. :)

Only thing I need to know now is about the input lag on both, the HDCP issue and a side by side comparison, but already I'm pretty sold. :)

Same here.
I'm really interested in the monitors, but I can't decide between the WC or WA since it depends on what you just mentioned. Specially the HDCP issue.
 
Goods news on 5xxx series issue

I have been updating the two new machines today. Both to the latest bios from MSI (P67A-GD65), I've also installed the latest Win7 patches, one of which I noticed was an ATI(AMD) one. I presumed that may have been a driver, I elected not to install it on one machine so I've ruled it out.

Anyway the upshot is I can now reboot both and see the BIOS and have my HZ27WC's recognised by the XFX5830's which is excellent news as I had to use a spare monitor before the updates:cool:

Very happy customer now this issue seems to have been resolved:D

I'm not sure where you imagined up me saying that they were ever under £300 :rolleyes:

The prices appear to have changed yet again on these monitors (as mentioned in the other thread). £399 for the 8bit panel seems a bit more reasonable.

I don't believe the Hazro's use any AG at all. After all, they use a glossy coating (which is very nice!).

I see no AR coating on my Hazro either. The glossy coating is designed to give increase transmission like (like an AR coating) because it doesn't allow ambient lights to wash out the screen by diffusing on it, but the effect is very different from an AR coating. The glass fronted screens could use some form of AR coating on the glass itself to overcome the very negative effects of an uncoated glass sheet in front of the screen, but this wouldn't be of any help to the panel itself.

You stated the screens have been hiked by £50-100, and at the time of your post the WC was £399, and the WA was only £10 more than it's lowest price, so either the £100 you mention was wrong, or you were claiming the WC sold for £299 (which it never has). Hence why i couldn't understand where this £100 hike figure came from?
