Unfortunate but, frankly, not something that I care about at all. Yes, it might have been nice to be able to use a standard cable connector for some things, but that has very little material impact on use of the monitor.
This seems more like a moral panic than a true compromise of the functionality of the monitor.
- JohnTHaller 5y agoI mean, pets chew on cables. Office chair wheels run over cables. Desk feet end up on a cable. Corners of things wear down cables. There's a reason all other monitors have removable cables. And not all are standard. Some have power bricks outside of them. But all are user replaceable. Having to service a $1,500-$2,000 monitor because the cable isn't easily replaceable is just stupid.
- 10u152 5y agoSure it's inconvenient but if you have a damaged cable ring your local electrician. They will just cut it and put a little inline junction box on it. Won't be as elegant but will also probably cost $100. Or just repair it yourself.
- JohnTHaller 5y agoThat would void your warranty. And $100 is more a rural fee. In a major city, it's gonna run you more than that. Or, get any other monitor and replacing the cable is about 6 bucks.
