Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The Asus MB 169N+ was pretty good for the first 10 months. It was quite light and thin and suited my needs of a portable monitor reasonably well. It had issues every once and awhile where I would have to unplug and plug the monitor in again to get stuff to display to it. On the first 10 months I'd rate it a 4. However, at that point it quit working. I could tell it was getting power as the power light was on. I thought maybe it was a driver issue and reinstalled the driver on a couple different machines with no luck. Finally I sent sent the monitor back to Asus for warranty repair given it has a three year warranty. They indicated the screen had scratches and sent a few photos which didn't really show much in the way of scratches to me. I thought maybe the screen was scratched during shipping as it didn't have scratches when I sent it. In any case, what the photos showed looked to be trivial at best so I said leave the screen as is and just fix that it doesn't display. Their response was they would only fix it as a whole, to the tune of around $175. For that much I could pretty much by a new one. After a few email exchanges they sent the product back without being repaired. At which point I found it didn't even have any scratches on the screen. This was my first and last purchase of any Asus product. No matter how good your product is, if you don't stand behind it then I'm not going to buy it. Having a three year warranty and then making up excuses not to honor it seems borderline fraudulent.
