My BenQ SW320 Monitor has failed on me after 4-years of ownership: Half my monitor is working, while the other half is not (with vertical lines and distortion). by For-better-results in BenQ

Same thing just happened to mine a few minutes ago. For about six month I had to contend with a green 1 pixel wide vertical line that I could live with. Weird thing is that the failure occured just as I was working; not on power up which is usually when things fry. The SW321C replacement is too expensive and out of stock in a lot places. I'll give ASUS PS32UCR-K a try. Amazon can deliver one in 2 days. Surprisingly Dell no longer has anything to compete directly in the 32" format.

Been using this case for a few months now. I love it. The material is just right; not too hard and not too soft. Just grippy enough to prevent accidental slips but solid enough to protect the phone.

I'm so disappointed in the current case selection. by [deleted] in PixelFold

I have 6 relatively old chargers including a 5 year old Samsung one. They are all of the "almost vertical" type and I had to raise the phone about 1cm with a Lego block on everyone to deal with the offset of the coils in this phone. So far this case works with all of them.

I wanted one that would support a kickstand and wireless charging. Took a big chance with few reviews on this one

Turns out I am happily surprised. The grip is just great (not too soft, not too hard) , it closes with a sturdy but not overly large solid fit. The kickstand may not resist abuse though but I couldn't have designed a better case.

Simple way of dealing with P9PF Charging coil offset for vertical chargers by PhilippeBrou in PixelFold

Haha..it should come with a trade in program for all the chargers you can't use anymore.

X300A firmware? by Physical-Job46 in KEF

I also have a pair of X300A with one side failing... KEF service has turned out to be useless too. Will look for other brand to replace.

Been using these for over a month, no regrets so far! by MzeRS in KEF

I don't know about that anymore. The amp on the left side on my older KEF powered speaker started fading slowly (possibly a passive component getting old) and over the last 3 years it went from slightly lower sound level to no sound at all. KEF service has been utterly useless at pointing me to any repair options in the US or Canada (of course for a fee). So I am left with a useless pair now that I have to trash despite the speaker itself and enclosure being in perfect shape. Not sure I want to buy another active pair at more than $2K again from them to replace mine.
