3 years limited according to the manufacture's website

GMG had to remove their "legitimate" Witcher 3 keys because CD Projekt Red said it was from unknown sources AND that was going for $39. This one is for $28.99 and on Ebay? Yea, legitimate....

Hi everyone: I am currently using the Asus PA248 as a work monitor. I use it for about 8 to 10 hours a day and I am getting eye strain. I guess for staring at it all day long. I know there are newer monitors that are flicker free that can reduce eye strain. I was wondering if I should...

Can't you tell from the viewing angle if it's TN or not? Which I am not an expert so I won't take a guess. Also, if this was a TN wouldn't this be the first 2560x1600 panel that is TN and 120Hz?

Four of my eight 4TB 7200 RPM Hitachi drives died within the last 3 years. I have 8 4TB NAS Seagate drives, coming up on the 1-year mark, no problems. I also had 10 2TB Green drives, now it's down to 5 drives. See, with a small amount of hard drives it's hard to tell which are the worst or best.

Yea, I have WD, Seagate and Hitachi various sizes from 2TB to 6TB. The ones that have died on me were Hitachi. Seagate drives has been fine, but I don't have any 3TB Seagate drives.

I guess Seagate got "smart" with people buying cheap external hard drives and using them as internals. Hopefully, Seagate will release a cheap 5TB or 6TB internal hard drive by the end of this year.

The 28" PB287Q is going to retail for $649 USD, I am going to guess the PB279Q is going to retail for $999 or $949. I originally had my eye on the PB287Q but the TN was the one sore spot. I am going to wait for this monitor instead.

Plus it's now shipping at $699. From the websites and Youtube videos, the release date for the 28" is June 10 on Amazon and NewEgg. I am surprise there hasn't been a pre-order page.

Thanks Finnish for your input. Unfortunately my desk is able to hold only one monitor and the U2711 has been acting up since February of this year. Several times I thought the monitor died but it's still alive. Also, I am pretty particular in quality in terms of color reproduction, etc. We...

Finnish, Since you are coming from a U2711, how is the difference in color quality between the two? I currently have the U2711 and I have been tempted to upgrade to the 28" 4K TN monitors. I play games, but I also view blu-ray movies and photos. So I would like to have an all purpose...

Dell has done this before with the U2711 A00 which had problems. If I remember correctly, people were asking for a recall, Dell never did. So you had to return one and hope you had a higher revision. This was 4 years ago, so this is normal Dell customer service.

Heads up! It seems that Best Buy is now carrying the Samsung U28D590. I am planning to go down tomorrow and hope they have a running demo version connected to a PC. So if you guys are on the fence maybe your local Best Buy has it in stock for you to see than ordering it online and returning...

There are several 4K 28" monitors that are coming about in the summer. However, all are high grade TN panel, and may be single-tile. I am assuming an IPS single-tile will not come out till at least Winter 2014 or after CES 2015. But if you want a TN-panel, the Asus PB287Q...

Thanks psyclist, I am going to wait for the Asus version, assuming it has everything the Samsung has, plus the Asus has the stand and the ability to move up and down and rotate is a plus for me.
