  Warranty
  Here's what the warranty mean:
  Life Time: Means you can use it until you throw it into rubbish bin.If the model is discontinued, Manufactory will give u a current model instead of within 28 days. Wow, can u believe that?

  Nice hack to get a new current model monitor (hopefully without a dead pixel)

  Oh wait… This isn't lifetime warranty…. Nevermind

  month(s): Means you can only do warranty within this months from Invoice date, so keep your Invoice at safe place.

  How does 3 month warranty stack up against the Aus consumer protection thingymabobs?

    Good point, what monitors are sold with lifetime warranty, and does regular wear and tear is warranted too?

    BTW all computing gear stores sell cheaper hardware (with issues) with similar reduced warranty periods; so it should be allowable under the law.

    I bought a clearance graphic card from MSY with 7 day warranty, the thing never got tested in this timeframe as I didn't have time to test it :). Turned out faulty on the 8th day. MSY didn't return it, but I ended up repairing it by applying a cheap 20c heat sink on the RAM ICs bought off dealextreme.

  So is this a factory-second or customer-returned item? Should that perhaps be in the title?

    Seller site doesn't say, but I suspect these must have been customer-returned items. Updated the title. Thanks.

  depends where this dead pixel is…
  if its dead set in the middle…
  or right in the corner..

    Site says they have eleven pieces, so lucky ones will get the corner dead pixels. Would it matter though if one out of 2 million (=1920 x 1080) pixels is a dead pixel? I suspect it won't be noticeable unless you are a graphic designer, but you won't be using a low-spec 27" then.

      I know that if I bought this monitor, I'd be staring at that dead pixel constantly, cursing the OP's name incessantly :-P

      None of these monitors were good enough for the first guy…

        Lolz, I know what you mean, it's happened to all of us. :) But I consider it a worthwhile bargain for people on a budget for whom monitor upgrade is long due.

      Oh a dead pixel on a 1920*1080 27" monitor will be very noticeable. The pixel pitch on those things are horrendous.

  I have a Dell 24" monitor with 1 dead pixel, it's really hard to notice unless the screen is black (so startup and some other rare occasions). That said, on a 27" monitor it may be more noticeable since the pixels are larger?

  The AOC cheaper models are pretty crap (like bad viewing angles, even if you are right in the middle), I would still suggest if you are getting an AOC, go for their IPS displays.

  It's obviously customer returned faulty units. So you're basically buying a faulty item. Dead pixel being a manufacturing fault. I didn't know it was legal for a retailer to knowingly sell a faulty item to a customer?.

    As long as it's been brought to the customer's attention and the customer is happy to proceed with that knowledge, which is the case here.

    the one pixel aside, the real problem is 3 months warranty only.

      According to the bath-tub curve of reliability, 3 months should cover the infant mortality period.

      In layman words, if it works for the first 3 months, it may well easily last 5 years.

      Although being the most cursed brand, my good old 21" Acer X213W still works after 5 or so years.

  Not many would waste their $169 for a defected monitor.

  This is a decent deal as long as it's not a bright pixel. Dead pixels are much harder to see

  Pro tip, value is to be had in the resolution, not the screen size.

  Screen size comes into play when you want to move the screen significantly away from yourself for shared viewing, in which case 27" screens are TINY.

  I'd much rather a 23" 1080p display with no dead pixels for the same price.
