I waited a full 9 months for my uconsole. They pitch it as a fantasy product, and I think that's fair. These are products with no target application. A standard MBA will suffice for all the specialized applications with the same weight and better screen using USB dongles. Maybe not 4G but who pays for service to run those modules rather than hotspot to a phone anyway?
> a $700 monitor and he still couldn't recommend it
He seemed to really like it, only not recommending it because it was expensive!
Can I ask, why have you bought the fourth monitor (or the fifth now?) if all the others have caused so many problems? For me, if I had that kind of problem even twice I wouldn't touch a company again.
This particular model has a very good color profile before that was common but all the units I got were literally falling apart or glitching. I really wanted to use one for vertical coding but in the end it became obvious every unit was defective in some way. QA must be non existent. Maybe they had a bad batch at Amazon, but the cs was the last straw. Took two weeks for a reply to a ticket and they were short, passing the buck and offering return procedures that would leave me without a unit for weeks. It was like they didn't believe me. The reviews mentioned getting faulty refurbs as replacements and I wasn't willing to accept that, so just returned through Amazon. Interestingly the boxes all looked trashed much like in the review. It was two years ago and I'm still really pissed off. What a waste of my valuable time. For some reason I got the impression Benq was a premium brand. If you look at their setup video they twice say not to apply pressure to the function bar. Must be built like lego from tacky plastic like the others. https://youtu.be/z1v_o4gXp-Q
Benq makes garbage. And I buy it!
Went through 4 monitors in 22 all with QC issues. One took out my macbook pro for not following the usb c spec over the built in unpowered hub. Was so angry and lost 2 months of productivity
Bought this model as well, hasn't arrived yet but expecting to return it. Their QC is terrible, their cs could care less and left me hanging and the specs are mediocre anyway. Don't buy Benq and if you do Amazon for a fast return.
They gave this guy a $700 monitor and he still couldn't recommend it. Benq makes shit.
It's a cipher cascade. (Don't build cipher cascades.)
Why not exactly?

What art are you referring to? I only see photographs that are credited (on mobile)
Do you mean the navy cap with the Pepsi logo? It's credited as an illustration. In 2021 the Text-to-image models also weren't that good yet, or did I miss something?
yep navy cap was "illustrated" but not by the "artist".
afaics, although it would be so much more tragic if the artist actually created the image. just can't win

art is clearly generated but model gets no credit. I think that's pretty outrageous

They’re vanilla now because everyone copied their designs decades ago. They’re the original.
Doesn’t mean they’re worth the cost, but now you know.
I can't imagine anyone going to a whiteboard back in the day to make a pair of sunglasses and walk away with any lesser of a design than Raybans. Give human ingenuity at least some credit. you can tie your shoes you can out design Raybans
