Hazro series - HZ30Wi, HZ30WiQ, HZ27WA, HZ27WB & HZ27WC

Just glad I didn't go with a glass version. Can't be having this dust nonsense! Is it not possible to knock the dust out of position? Wobbling the monitor a bit or something?
 
had a good chat in store and was told the new batch with the glass screen dont suffer from dust issues as much as the first batch

best upgrade i have done in ages, this screen is worth every penny even the misses said it looks great and that bf3 looks so much better

checked the calibration with windows 7 and it was spot on i only had to adjust gamma ever so slightly

guys i'm one million percent gutted and i don't know what to do :/ :( after returning my first WC because of damage to the gloss coating i was finally able to open my new replacement on christmas morning because it was actually a present off my folks. This time the screen is absolutely fine, not one dead pixel, minimal backlight bleed but its making a squeeling and humming noise on certain webpages :( The overclockers front page is one of the worst culprits for making it sound bad and if i search for 2560*1440 images in google images it makes it really hum/squeel, even facebook makes it hum. It's definately when browsing the web and on certain pages because if I minimize the browser or change tabs the noise stops. Is this a fault or just a trait of IPS?? If i put my ear to the vent at the top of monitor it's definately coming from inside the monitor. I've tried changing brightness etc etc but it makes no difference. I wouldn't mind but it's such an irritating noise and what's the point in me building a silent pc if the monitor sounds like this

My WD did this high pitched squealing. I sent it back and for some reason I wasn't clear that I wanted it returned under DSR. They said it wasn't faulty and then charged me £23 for testing + cost to send it back to me all at 10am so I come home from work to find it was faulty and was already sent back to me. I'd return it under DSR if I was you and just try a different make. Unless you just want to keep trying with Hazro but seems the chance of getting a perfect screen is a lot lower than what it should be.

If you have the money, I'd say get a Dell Ultrasharp. There is not much of a chance of any defects. And if there is Dell will replace it.

Only time I noticed the coating was on the bright blue default windows 7 back ground. In the very bright areas it looks 'noisy'. Isn't really the best word to describe it. But in games I don't notice it at all.

The problems is if you have to work with text and numbers on a white background all the time. I am very happy with my WD glassless, and I wouldn't be so with the Dell. Black and very well contoured letters on a white an uniform background, without noise, that's a dream. And with it's high resolution you can get close, and gain a lot of useful working space.

hi guys, i have been following this thread for a while now, and need some good old OCUK forum members advice,

i currently have 3 x Dell 2407WFP-HC panels in surround running on 2 x 470's in SLI,

now i have been looking at the Hazro WC glass panel, and thinking i might sell of the Dell's and pay for the Hazro,

but i have some niggles, the failure rate (bleeding/dead pixels/dust etc) on these Hazro panels seems a little high.

and also i notice the thread starter Hazro has disapeared and not been seen since October :rolleyes:

now with this in mind, do you guys think i should swap out the Dells for the Hazro?

many regards and xmas wishes in advance

i can't return it under DSR mate because it was bought a couple of weeks before christmas and put away as a present :( i guess if i RMA it they'll say exactly the same as they did with yours which is pretty disgusting! Surely a monitor isn't meant to squeal and buzz?

Yes you can - DSR gives you "reasonable time" to evaluate - if it's a christmas present that you don't open til christmas day... you haven't had reasonable time to evaluate the product.

Now that you have, you don't want it - so DSR very much applies.

Get a webnote over to them...
 
A high pitched squeal should be classed as a fault unless all of the monitors exhibit the same squeal; the only issue they mention will be refused is low counts of bad pixels.
 
After reading all this I feel really lucky with my HZ27WC... Mine is from the first batch and is totally fine. I also definatly don't have the squeeling or high pitch sound. Feel really bad for you guys, hope you get it sorted soon.

well i've raised an RMA request so we'll see what they say! What a pain in the arse all this is!! never seen a product with such a poor defect rate
 
Does anyone ever get something that seems very similar to a vsync line but then vertical?

I mean with vsync you get something like this (middle line is the vsync line):
Code: 
+------+
|------| 
|      |
+------+

What I sometimes get is this:
Code: 
+-----+
|  |  |
|  |  |
+-----+

A vertical 'line' straight down the middle, like if the left (or right) side is one frame behind on the other. I hadn't noticed it before but can only use my monitor over HDMI at the moment and thus am limited to 1920x1080 and this is getting on my nerves. My guess is that the scalers (there should be two in the HZ27WD) are out of sync sometimes. Do wonder if this is something they consider worth an RMA.

How did some of you return the glass version back to OcUK?

I've tried a few boxes but couldn't get a good enough size for one. I was thinking of wrapping the actual monitor box is arrived in with a few layers of bubble wrap, then covering this in parcel paper (to keep it plain as required) then leaving the handle sticking out the top for easy carry.

Would this be okay, or do I need another box for it?
 
So my hazro wc just arrived. But on the box it says "glass fronted" when I ordered the non glass :/ Guess I'll just open it later and fingers crossed when I have time.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to just use the box it came in.. Seems logical.

Indeed, but they require a plain box for an RMA, otherwise it'll just be returned. I'm sure doing what I said would be fine, it's much easier to have it closer to the original size and be able to carry it, so will just wrap it in bubble wrap + parcel paper so it's plain and put some notes on about fragile.

I had a non-glass one delivered to replace the glass one (jumped on the 5% + free del :D) and it too had glass written on it. Panicked a bit, but just seems they re-use the same boxes, as had the non-glass inside.
