Angry enough to write a review.

Let me just say that I have never written a review before. I don't think I've ever been so dissatisfied with a product that I've been tempted to write it down. However, after purchasing this monitor THREE times, only ONE of the monitors actually worked. The first monitor had a "black hole" in the screen, and it was literally moving and expanding. It is clear that it had to be returned. It was a hassle to simply return the item. The second worked fine, sometimes it wouldn't turn on automatically when I pressed the power button. Now I just leave my monitor on. Now this third one I ordered to replace the first one just arrived today and I just want to say I'm either having no luck at all or MSI just make their monitors of terrible quality. The power button literally gets stuck and won't turn on. It's stuck and there's nothing I can do without taking it apart and fixing it, which I won't because I ordered it and it had to come in decent condition for it to at least turn on. I understand. more than anyone that sometimes defective products are produced and the buyer simply receives them. The easiest way would be to return it and get a new one. Except when this whole process itself takes a long time, not to mention it's already happened twice. I'm just more surprised that 2/3 of the products I've ordered from MSI have issues with them / arrived broken. It's safe to say I'm not interested in trying a fourth time. The second monitor works well and looks good, except for the power button issue where it doesn't always boot up. The simple fix was to leave it enabled. To be honest, I would just buy a different monitor. It sucks because otherwise I'd say it's a decent monitor, but I won't be ordering a fourth one and praying that by some miracle I won't end up with a defective product again.
